Greetings from sunny California!
Juliet Bravo:
Hello!
I came across this Thompson forum and am interested in finding out more about my Thompson roots and meeting other Thompsons on the same quest. My name is Jean-Marie Bonnar, but my maiden name is Thompson. I'm from a family of seven, with three brothers and one sister. Growing up an Air Force brat my family lived in many places, but we all now live in California.
My father is John Robert Thompson, Sr., born in Arkansas. Married Carole Jean Hertsch of New York.
His ancestors:
Henry Owen Thompson born Russelville, Arkansas 1913-1964, died Tulare County, California married Ora Alcidine Kimbrell 1909-2010 born Arkansas, died Tulare County, California
John Wade Thompson born Arkansas 1884-1957 married Ella Hollabaugh (Griffin) 1881-1958 born Arkansas
Charles Sullivan Thompson born Tennessee (died Arkansas)1858-1919 married Eliza Ann English 1861-1935 born Tenneesse, died Texas
Lewis B. Thompson born circa 1812 Virginia or SC, married Emoline (Emiline) Calger born 1830 Virginia
Not sure where our Thompsons first originated, but my father's Y-DNA at 23andMe is designated as R1b1b2a1a2f* (L-21+). I also recognize some persons posting here from GEDMatch and 23andMe.
Kind Regards,
Jean-Marie

Hi Jean-Marie -
Sorry, no connections from our line. We're Ireland-PA-IN Thompsons.
Good luck -- I'm sure if anyone recognizes your line, you'll hear from them!
Sis Thompson's oldest:
Welcome Jean-Marie,
Just now making my way into VA with my search. So far no match with your fam other than your father's name John Robert, which is my brother's. Keep looking though you never know what will turn up!
Welcome to the fray!
Sherry
William J. Thompson:
No matches my way, either. All my line is in Tazewell, Virginia; and there aren't any Lewises in my mix.
