Hi, I ran across a birth certificate today which sounds like an Orkney name to me ( Oh, by the way, I see there is an Orkney Springs in Virginia, USA). This baby was born on 14 June 1895 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her name is Inga Thomson, parents James Thomson & Helen Flett. James was a manager for the Hudson's Bay Co.. If this is your Thomson branch, I'll send you the certificate. Pam -- Pam Thomson of BC, Canada New email address: as of August pamthom@intergate.bc.ca
