Re: THOMPSON John; IRL>PA,USA; 1818-1885 I, too, have a great grandparent John Thompson who was in Philadelphia in the mid-1800s married to a Rebecca Wilson. I have information that they both were from Ireland and planned to begin a search in Philadelphia this spring, knowing both names are "a dime a dozen." I am discouraged by the lack of support you received, but am determined to continue. Carole Sherr Lancaster, PA carsherr@aol.com (CarSherr)
