     Hello, My name is Beverly Kohn and hope to find everyone fine this morning. It has taken me awhile to post because I am new to the computer also! I joined Clan MacTavish-Thompson in 2007 at the Glasgow games in Ky. and was really impressed with the people I met there. Disappointed in the events  afterward but I think everyone's made the right decisions since then concerning  getting back to our own roots and finding out the truth of our history! I will give a little back ground of family at a later date and  even though we haven't found out alot, maybe it will help. I hate to introduce myself and turn around and ask for help,but, my sister and her husband are traveling to England for a business trip and will have time to tour England and Scotland for awhile and are having trouble finding accommodations in London for less than $400.00 u.s., does anyone have any ideas? That is for 3 days. I appreciate any help as they are leaving on the 24th of this month. They have plans to stay in Gloucester for their business meetings and then are going to Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye to tour and back to London and that seems to be hardest place to find something reasonable.  Any ideas would be great! Thank you in advance and to everyone in Clan Thompson society "I hope the best you've ever seen will be the worst you ever see!" I read that somewhere and loved it!
                                   From one hard headed Thompson to another!

Hi Beverly,

Welcome to the Forum!! 

About London hotels....There are discount hotel sites for London on the internet.  Basically it seems like a half price rate at a lot of London hotels, both in town and out skirts.  I did a search for "london hotels" and quite a few came up... and they include prices

And welcome to our newest LIFE member, Jan Cunningham!  I asked Donna if we could look for any more members from her family but she seems to be running out of them!    Jan, I hope you get involved with your cousin AND the group here on the forum. Donna and I have been working on project for the past couple of months now and we're always ready to pull in some other helpful souls!

Thank you most sincerely for your support.......... and faith.

my sister and her husband are traveling to England for a business trip and will have time to tour England and Scotland for awhile and are having trouble finding accommodations in London for less than $400.00 u.s., does anyone have any ideas? That is for 3 days. I appreciate any help as they are leaving on the 24th of this month. They have plans to stay in Gloucester for their business meetings and then are going to Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye to tour and back to London and that seems to be hardest place to find something reasonable.  Any ideas would be great!

Beverly ---- do you know if they  have a preference in what PART of London they stay?  For example:

 
    * Bayswater
    * Belgravia
    * Chelsea
    * City Of London
    * Covent Garden
    * Docklands
    * Earls Court
    * Hampstead
    * Kensington
    * Knightsbridge
    * Maida Vale
    * Marble Arch
    * Marylebone
    * Mayfair
    * Notting Hill
    * Pimlico
    * Richmond
    * South Kensington
    * St James Park, Westminster
    * Trafalgar Square
    * Victoria
    * West End
    * Westminster
    * Westminster / St James Park
    * Westminter/Victoria
    * Wimbledon

Would they be interested in self-catering or B&B or just hotels?

Hello Everyone,
   My name is Jan Cunningham, I'm Donna Lingren's cousin.  I have just become a Life Member of Clan
Thompson Society.  I live & work on the southern Oregon coast & really love it here.  I moved here
from Arizona 16 years ago & can't imagine living anywhere else.
   I work for the largest truck repair shop on the OR. coast as bookkeeper & office manager.  I've been
at this job my entire time in OR.
   I was born & raised in Minnesota & have two brothers, older one in Ohio & younger one in Oklahoma.
They have a good Scot name also, McKinley (I'm a Cunningham by marraige only).
   My cousin, Donna, has done extensive genealogy work on our mothers' side (Thompson) of the family
& has given me a start on my father's side (McKinley).
   I'm looking forward to exploring the Clan Thompson Society website & learning more about my ancestors.
Should prove interesting.
   Oh, I go by jcbowls because I'm a bowler.
   Bye for now,
      Jan C.
