How do you get to Clan Thompson--I am a Thompson woman with no one to do Thompson DNA. I keep watching and looking for anyone who might be a Thompson with my father and grandfather. Father's name Frank Fuller Thompson (Minneapolis MN, b. 15 Oct. 1879--d. Salem OR, 08 Jan. 1961) m. Amanda Ervin, 22 Feb 1902 near Spokane WA. He had 2 children with Amanda, Duane, d. 22 Dec. 1932, Rapid City SD and Dona, d. OR, He had a sister, Daisy m. Phelps. Frank's father Samuel S. Thompson--some have said the 'S' might be Sylvester. S.S.'s b. in Minneapolis and d. in Minneapolis but I don't have the dates right here. He married Jennie Walker, divorced, married again, d. in train accident. Hoping someone will recognize these two!
