Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Glenn James Thomson and I reside in Bucks County,Pa (originally from Yonkers,NY) with my wife Maryanne(nee Guest), and daughter Allison.
I had volunteered at The Celtic Classic in Bethlehem,PA this past weekend and as I was leaving yesterday, I walked by the Clan Societies tents and saw the Clan Thom(p)son tent! I stopped and chatted with Jim Reed for a bit and he was a well of info! I was absolutely amazed since I had never seen a Thom(p)son clan anything anywhere! I am so happy that you are all here and trying to bring recognition to the name/names Thom(p)son and all their septs. I know I'll learn a lot here!

Glenn,
Cead Mile Failte (One Hundred Thousand Welcomes) Welcome Aboard!! It was a pleasure talking with you and your family at the Classic Celtic fest. I am planning on setting up a Clan tent at two other Gatherings in your area in 2010 that we haven't been to before. Check for postings on the forum next spring. Your comments validate the belief I have held for years is that the best way to get the word out is by providing a visible presence at these Celtic Fests and Highland Games. I know my initial intrest in my Thom(p)son heritage was generated at the Ligioner Games many years ago through by Clan Tent that one of the other Societies that recognize us as a Sept had setup.

Glen and family welcome to the extended Thom(p)son family.
I 'm glad you found us and that we found you. I noted that you were in Bucks Co PA.
I am always an optimist when anyone hints they just might have some connections to PA. There is always the hope
that I will find some links to my family. Is there any chance you will post your genealogy on the forum? There are several of us who had ancestors arriving or just passing through PA and we are eager to grab at any passing straws.

Late as usual........ :( WELCOME!
I'm Mary, generally considered the "Jackie of all trades" in the group. At the moment, I'm trying to fill in for our genealogist who is dealing with family health problems. Like Tom mentioned, it would be great if you could put your genealogy info in the genealogy section at the top of the home page....that way, everyone can see it and see if they have any connections. It's already happened a number of times! And, if you get really enthused, you might want to check the DNA discussions -- we've had 5 different members find out that they have a -1 common ancestor 6 generations back (a -1 would be brothers, uncle/nephew) and now they are all working together on their info.
We also have our own database hosted at Rootsweb http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=clan_thompson (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=clan_thompson) With your permission, any genealogical info you send will be added.....
Don't be shy --- I'm sure there are lots of questions or ideas out there that we haven't explored yet....maybe you'll bring one to light!
