You have now confirmed it for me - my great grandfather was William Thomson born 1843 deceased 1919 and my great grandmother was Florence Moorhead born 1953 deceased 1909. Is that correct? I knew my father had to be named after a decendant so he was named after his grandfather. I did locate a William Edgar Emerson Thomson in Perth, Ontario - not sure if it is any relation. I figured this William married to Florence must be the one as it showed him having a son named Ivan. We had an Uncle Ivan who was still alive after my father was deceased. We had been to his cottage when we were young. I am not trying to avoid giving you info - it is just that I am new at this and you hear of so many horror stories over the internet - I am just being cautious. My first name is Kim.
