We are 4th cousins tracing back to John Dale and Elizabeth Armstrong as our common ancestors. I would be interested in adding anything that you can give me on the Thomsons to my database. I had your Dad's name but no other details--birth or death dates, marriage, children, etc. I have a lot on the Dales and would be very happy to share. I grew up in Stittsville but now live in Niagara-on-the-Lake. My sisters and I were thinking of holding a Dale reunion at some point as close to Shawville as possible. This may have to wait a couple of years for my retirement to give me time to organize. I am in contact with Dales descended from the same ancestral Dales from County Derry (actually from Ayrshire Scotland) who live in England, Ireland, Australia, the US and New Zealand. Maybe some of them would come to Canada if we gave enough advance notice--two or three years. What do you think? Where in the Valley do you live?
