John Moore THOME "John Macon Thome, born in Palmyra, PA. Attended Lehigh University, PA. In 1885 he succeeded Benjamin A. Gould (from Harvard U.) as the director of the Argentine National Observatory (Observatorio Astronomico de Cordoba) in 1885. Under Thome's initiative the Cordoba Durchmusterung star catalogue began to be complied in 1892, declinations -22 to -90. (This star catalogue was a follow up to the Bonner Durchmusterung star catalogue: epoch 1855.0.) Thome died in 1908 in Cordoba." He is also listed as: John Macom Thome and Juan M. Thome. I am wondering if his wife and any children? stayed in Argentina or came back to the US: PA.? In researching in Lebanon Co., PA. (Palmyra is in this county) he is listed as: John Moore Thome married to Frances Wall. John Moore Thome's parents are: Dr. Samuel Henry and Margaret Jeffries Thome of Palmyra, PA. (6 children). I am very interested in finding any decendents of this family as I have a photo which "might" be of Dr. Samuel Henry Thome's parents and am trying to see if any other family members have the same photo. Two of these photos exist, that I have found: Neither have any identification on them!, but one is in a Thome family Bible. The Thome family in Lebanon Co., PA. from the Thome side are Scot-Irish -- according to church records (Salem Lutheran Church, Lebanon, PA.) and family verbal history. I have more family information. If anyone is researching this family I would certainly like to be in touch. Sue
