Helen -

Greetings!

Yes, at least I still monitor this thread. I will send you what I have on file. We have located several family members, in Scotland, the States and down your way. What I send you will be a compilation of what all we, collectively, have discovered.

It will take a few days to sort it all out, so please be patient!

Bob

I would be very interested in any info you might have about any family connections you might know of.

Thanks,

Bob

This is GREAT!  I am the greatgrandson of Robert Thomson, I have no memory of Da, as he was called by everyone, but do remember his wife, Mary Ann.  She died when I was about 5 or 6, so that would have been around 1957.  Recently, some of my cousins had decided to look into our background some and came up with some information that I questioned, so I got on the web and started searching.  I was able to track Robert Thomson and family through Ellis Island, backtracked them to Aberdeen and Thurso.  According to the info I gleaned out of the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census' William and Janet did indeed have 12 children, Robert T. falling about in the middle.  The names and approximate birth years I found were:

William - 1861
Simon - 1863
Margaret - 1865
James - 1867
Donald - 1869
Andrew - 1871
Robert - 1873
John - 1877
Janet - 1879
Malcolm - 1882
George - 1890

Robert T had 3 children:

Cecilia - 1904
Robert Alexander and George Henry (twins) -  1906

Robert A had 4 sons:

Robert Everett - 1929
Alan Ernest - 1931
George Alexander - 1937
Bruce Cameron - 1939

George H had 1 daughter - Jean Ann

Cecilia had 2 children -
David
Kathleen

There's much more, but I'll add more later
