You are very incorrect.  The American Black Footed Ferret is indeed a
member of the weasel family, the same family and genus our domestic
ferret is found, only the specie is different: putorius or furo.  (If
one still goes by the old taxinomic designator, then it would be specie:
putorius and sub-specie: furo)
 
Look down this list and you will see the B.F.F. in with all the other
weasels.
