I started this for fun to see how far back our lineage goes. Unfortunately I don't have much on the Thomson's I am finding it hard to locate anything on my grandfather's side. My father William Emerson Thomson was born January 21, 1930 and deceased September 1968 in Kingston, Uncle Dale was born 1928 and of course is still alive and Aunt Janice was born somewhere around 1931 or 1932 deceased approx. April 1955 or 1956. Aunt Janice had juvenile diabetes and she passed away 3 days after giving birth to her only child. She was married to David Lemay. My father married Grace Stevenson from Kingston and although they resided at my grandparents home for awhile they later moved back to Kingston. My mother unfortunately passed away February 29, 2008 at 80 years of age. My parents only had 2 children me and my sister - I am not at liberty to give out info on my sister without her permission. My Uncle Dale Thomson was married to Merle A! rmstrong and she passed away April 1996. They had 3 children - a girl and 2 boys. The oldest boy resides in the Dale family homestead in Shawville. There is a Thomson family homestead outside of Shawville not sure exactly where as it was along time ago when I was there. Do you know a Diana Dale - I came across her sign on name in the connections field. She has alot of the same info on her family tree as we do. It turns out that my daughter shares the same birthdate as our great, great, great grandfather John Dale. This is all pretty interesting. A family reuninon would be fun but sure would be alot of work to get everyone together. We had a small Thomson family reunion in 1984 or 1985 at the Thomson homestead near Shawville. I live just west of Ottawa. Well that's about all I have for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
