I'm a life member myself, and you're right, I have found far more useful information there than this "any Thompson" thing could ever provide. There are millions of Thompsons in the world, and most are not related. To find your own family; narrow it down. Clan Thompson is at http://www.clanthompson.org Great resources, including many with genealogical information.
