Hi all, I am Christopher Paul Thompson (everyone calls me Paul).
I became interested in finding out if there was a Scottish link somewhere in my family (my wife thinks kilts are sexy!!) and found all of you. Needles to say I am a little overwhelmed with how many of us there are!! I have two sons William (20) and Aaron (17), a blood sucking leach exwife (meant in the kindest way possible) and am remarried to an angel. I have a golden retriever named Rufus (I noticed on the patriarch page this is a common family name).
I don't know much about my line but what I do seems to tie in well with what I have read on the website!
I look forward to finding out more from all of you.

Welcome Paul, glad to have you with us.
Your wife is right, kilts are definitely sexy, and you should wear one of those instead of that outfit you have on in your profile picture. (Just kidding, buddy)
What part of the country are you in?
-
Oh wait, I looked at your profile and you're in Germany! Way cool. Adds to the international flavor of the clan.
-
Oh ya by the way ;D, I am a clown :o. Class clown all through school, now I get paid to do it!
Also I live in sunny southern Alberta.

sorry my mistake ???, filling out the profile page location is right after date of birth, so of course I put in my place of birth. I can kind be an airhead at times.

Hello Paul and family! Welcome,Welcome,Welcome!!! It sounds like you are going to fit right in with us. If you can add hardheaded you really are a match! What a gift to be able to make people laugh, you truly are blessed! Am eager to get to know you and your family and tell your wife she is correct, Kilts are way sexy!
yours in family and spirit!

Welcome aboard Paul and family! I've been waiting for someone to help with jokes threads I could use a rest! As opposed to being arrested which so far I've managed to avoid! ;D
-
Hello Paul and welcome! Great to have you join our family, and we are all family here. Your wife is so very right about kilts being soooooo sexy. ;D

Welcome anyway Paul, even if you're not in Germany. I did wonder why a Canuck would be in Germany, but even Canadians travel don't they?
-
"a blood sucking leach exwife " Hmmm, I wonder why we haven't met at the meetings?
Well welcome now, Paul

Welcome to the mildly loony bunch! Especially the men....but then, you already know that having heard from Stu, Michael and Booner! It's a good thing Barbara, Bev and I can manage the decorum around here! 8) ;D Yeah.....right, huh???
Welcome to you and your angel wife (I think I'll skip the other) and sons. Hope they get involved too!
Good to have some more Canadians join us! We're becoming more international by the month...........:)

Here in Colorado, our grass is covered with snow and more is falling by the hour. We certainly needed the moisture though.

Michael, when we lived in the San Juan mountains of Colorado we always got a foot or two snowfall on John's birthday, May 2. It never failed the whole 10 years we lived there. One year they had to bring out the snowplows at the 4th of July Rodeo! :o We always had to take our coats to the Rodeo and usually wore them the whole day. One year we forgot and had to go back home to get them, but we had a lot of fun.

Hey Paul,
Welcome to your and your family! When time permits, please post your Thompson genealogy for us. My Thompson family is from Ontario Canada and I really would like to find a few "cousins" :D

I was talking with my brother tonight about Clan Thompson and found some more information, unfortunately if we are cousins Donna it's back a ways because my Grandfather was born in England and moved to Canada.
So the next question that I have is where do I post what I know about my branch of the family?
-
So I wanted to post a bit more about us, I've already read a lot about many of you.
Currently my angel wife is starting her 3rd semester for her doctorate of Pharmacy through the University of Florida (distance education), the plan is when she is in her last year that I will also do my masters in GIS through Florida. One of my sons lives here in lethbridge but the younger lives in St Catherine's Ontario (he is in part the reason I found Clan Thompson).

I can identify with that Barbara. It's common in Colorado to wake up to frozen snow and have sunny skies and warm temps by afternoon. Happened today, and I think I left my coat in the car, so I'll have to get it in a bit.
People often don't believe me when I tell them March and April are our snowiest months until they see one of our spring blizzards. We used to have a festival on Mother's Day every year, but it kept getting snowed on so they changed it to July.

Paul - the genealogy section is right above this topic on the main page of the forum! You can post what you know there and then our members can check it and see if you have any common (or, in our case...uncommon!) ancestors!
If you decide to join the Society, you can submit it to Cathy (our genealogist) to see if she can find any more information and it will be included in our rootsweb genealogy database. Several of our members have discovered they are related through the database.
We'll be watching for it!

Welcome fellow Canadian. My brother in law lives in Calgary, I have some family in Edmonton and I live in "Sunny" Winnipeg, Manitoba. Sorry about my late response, ive been so busy finishing my socal but im back not

Graham, I was just about to write some response about Winterpeg Manitoba but there are currently 5 cm of snow on the ground here and we just had the rain yesterday melt 10 cm of snow (weird weather, haven't seen this since the 70's). Anyway it's good to hear from another Canuck, hope the weather doesn't have you snowed in!
-
