....and it wasn't easy!

The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs tried to have us banned (as requested by MacTavish and MacThomas) 
They are so frightened that Thom(p)sons will find us and realize they DO have a home of their own......we may not have a chief, but at least our members aren't joining some clan lying about BEING Thompson to build their membership!

Thom(p)son Genealogy / Robert Thompson search
« Last post by jthomp830 on March 18, 2022, 01:08:33 PM »
Greeting all,
 I am stuck on my family search.
We can trace it back to Robert Thompson (1812-1855). He was born in Scotland, moved to Ireland and then Canada. He may have changed his name from MacThomais or that may be a rumor.
Somewhere along the way he married Catherine Harkins. She seems to have been born in Ireland in 1815. They had a son (Robert 1852-1909) and a daughter (Allie). The family ended up in New York State, but that may have been Robert JR.
 Does anyone have information on Robert SR and his history in Scotland?

Hi back!

Glad you got on here with less stress than the members only area of the website! Technology is only great when it works, eh?

Please don't be disappointed in not receiving "hellos" to your post. The forum has pretty much been retired for active things - Facebook has captured the imagination the last few years. This one was hot and heavy in the years between establishing a new society and revealing the MacTavish B.S.  We were vindicated when matriculated - that Thom(p)son is not and never was a sept of nor could be considered to be/have been MacTavish. The similarity stops with the name - Son of Thomas or Tom.

You'll get some updates in your package - sent it out yesterday :)

Welcome home!
Mary
