Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: We know of a family by that surname, they live on the same road as we do but around the corner. There is mum and dad, ELEVEN children, so far 33 grand children and there are two more grand children on the way, and a great grandchild expected this week, so I would say the chances of there being millions of Ferguson's very high.

RANK 156 Out of a database of 8.87 million last names (33% of America in 1997) There were 51,167 people. That is 0.6% of 1/3 of Americans. It may seem like a lot, but in the big picture, it isnt. My mother last name is Ferguson. I don't know like jeesh, why don't you do the research and tell us like jeesh! My mother's last name was Ferguson.
