.........and for those who are already members, don't forget you could give a GIFT membership to a relative and that would count too!

For those who have offered to match the donation to the Arms fund for new members - you're awesome.

My name is Timothy L. Thompson.  I was born, and presently live, in Spokane, Washington.  I'm married to Shelley and have two kids, Adam and Valerie.  I am having trouble researching my Thompson roots.  On Ancestry.com I was able to find information about my Grandfather, Mr. George Dean Thompson but it was minimal.  On a census report, he boarded as a teenager with a family in New Mexico.  He married Zetta Lucille Thompson (Garrett) and resided in Fort Smith Arkansas and Wichita Kansas.  He passed on in 2002 at 92 years of age.  He had two daughters, Caroline (Lashbrook) and Sue (Klassen) and four sons, Donald R., Tommy, Rick and Robert (passed away in mid 1960's).   
It's possible that Mr George D Thompson was adopted and that Thompson is his adoptive name, I'm not sure.
If anyone has more information I could use the help. 
Thanks, Tim.

Hello and welcome, Tim!

I'm sure our members will all take a look at your genealogy and see if there's a "hit" with theirs. If not, we've had over 6500 visitors to this site since the end of September and THEY are bound to be Thoms also and may have a connection. Genealogy is one of our most popular topics with non-members.

I wish you good luck and hope someone will recognize your family.

Sincerely,
F.M.

[Cathy McTavish]

I am back to the forums, minimally, but would love to help you with your genealogy.  What year was your grandfather born??  where was he born, when and where did he die??   do you know who his parents were??   
Cathy

[mrthompson]

Thank you, Cathy for your interest.  George Dean Thompson was born March 30, 1910.  I'm not sure where he was born, could be either Oklahoma or New Mexico.  He passed away on Dec. 15, 2002 in Wichita, Kansas.  I don't know who his parents were.  Much obliged, Tim.

Tim ---

Do you know any of your grandfather's siblings??? Sometimes, that helps us locate an elusive individual.......

Mary

[mrthompson]

I don't know his siblings names.  I have his social security number, if that helps.

                         Welcome to the 5 new members who have
                           joined us in the Forum so far this month!

                          It's a good thing that there are still some
                         folks out there who want to hear what we
                                             have to say    

                              Don't forget that July 2009 is our
                                          Grow the Clan
                                                  month

                   For each of the first 15 NEW Paid memberships during
                      the month of July 2009, $15.00 will be donated to  
                           The Clan Thompson Society Arms Fund

                              What a return on your investment!!!!
                         You pay as little as $25.00 for your membership,
                         and $15.00 will be donated to the Arms Fund!

Get your money out.....I saw two new paid memberships in the email being forwarded to the president. These came in as individual memberships - one for Richard Thompson and one for Melissa Thompson.
WELCOME!  I hope we will see you posting soon -
