Pioneer Project, subsite SURNAMES you can browse through 85 various Thompsons. On the same page under WV DIV OF CULTURE AND HISTORY you can pull up death certificates for 13 Thompsons and 4 Franklins. This is the best county page in the state system. If you find some people who seem like the ones you're looking for holler back and we'll dig around a little deeper to get you some more stuff. The people who put this page together have done all the work, we just need to decide which doors to open .
