This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Thompson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ya.2ADI/250.432 Message Board Post: My grandfather was Carvin MONROE Thompson b. 1910 in Chester, Dodge County, GA. His father was Ellis MONROE Thompson b. 1893 Dodge County, GA. My GG grandfather was William Loftis Thompson b. 1870 Dodge County. I feel that the Monroe name attached to so many Thompson's from an area is not an accident. Can you help ? From your email address, it appears you still live near that area (I grew up in Dublin). Any help is appreciated. We are at a standstill on this line. Beth Thompson Camp Concord, GA
