Hi I'm also researching the Thomson's of South Ronaldsay. Which Thomson's are you tracing? My Thomson's are John Thomson who married Margaret Annal. Margaret is said to have been the younger half sister of John Annal who married Helen Flett. Does any of this sound familiar? Diane Davison Ontario, Canada ---------- > From: William A.
