Hi Bob Just got in late and found your message. You are only the second sixth cousin we have found! (The other descends from Thomas THOM(P)SON's brother, Giles and lives in USA.) Dawn and I are descended from their brother, William. We are in contact with numerous descendants of William in UK, USA and Australia. You must get together with us and let us extend our trees. Bed now, I'm sure Geoffro will start the ball rolling tomorrow night. You can investigate most of our known tree on Geoffro's page: http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/amusement/adrenaline/17/ Keep in touch Doug Thompson (Steyning, Sussex - but born in Bristol)
