Beverly Kohn(Thompson):
Thank you Mary, I miss talking to you and Tom so much, and am so glad to be back with good hearted ,positive people again, you all are such a blessing and fine examples of the   way I wish everyone could be with a little effort.

Thomas B. Thompson:
Welcome back !
My dad, grand father and 4 more generations of great grand fathers are were from Kentucky ( Harlan County ).
Don't  know where all their kids wandered off to, I believe most of them stayed in the general area. I also have a name
of a Sara Thompson who lives in Miracle, KY. I'd like to find out if any of your Thompsons might match up with any of mine.

Anyways, welcome back.

Best wishes,
Tom ( Indiana )

Beverly Kohn(Thompson):
Thank you for the nice welcome Thomas, great to talk to you also. The farthest we've been able to get back to is my Great-Great Grandfather William C. Thompson and as of yet have no birth date for him or where he was born. His son, my Great Grandfather ,James A. "Jimmy" Thompson was born Aug. 6th 1859 in Barren County,Ky. and buried in an old church yard in Poplar Springs, Ky. next to his father. Our family has a long history with that old church. James married Mary Lindsay in 1880 in Edmonson County, Ky. My Dads' father and mother married there and are buried in Sweeden Ky. just up the road a bit.Most of my dads' family settled there until after WWII when the brothers went to Louisville for work. We have heard talk that William came to Ky. through West Virginia but that was from an Aunt that wasn't very healthy at the time, so we didn't really accept everything she said. She also said he had an accent that she thought was Gaelic, coincedence? I was young then too, and full of questions for everyone and may not remember correctly who said what, you know? My Mother was not a big fan of finding out about the past [afraid of what she would find out- have some McCoys on her side!!} We're down to just us cousins now and are going through old papers and Bibles, photos and things, so the search is still on. I do remember something about them settling in Glasgow, KY. but that is vague also. I am a lover of history and will find out the truth, its a life's mission. Whether I find out We're from Scotland or not I have a deep feeling inside for that country that I can't explain, since I was a young child it can't be a coincedence, it's too strong. Anyway, I will let you guys know what I find as I find it and we can all enjoy our adventures together.
