Douglas,
Generally speaking, THOMPSON is an English name. THOMSON, i.e. without the 'p', is usually Scottish, but there are people of both spellings in both countries. I have Thomsons (from Banffshire, Scotland) in my family tree. The name is so common in Scotland that it gave rise to the old poem "We're a' Jock Tamson's bairns".

I too have a "Thompson" in my line. She was my Great Grandmother, I am lucky to have known her. She was a frail little lady who had had red hair and many freskles. She was tiny and a good dresser. She came to my wedding over 50 yrs. ago. We visited her often and eagerly looked forward to packages at Christmas from Gramma Mullin" as we called her.I am fortunate to have many pics of her but I have not yet followed that line anywhere as I have concentrated on my fathers side and I am very slow at researching. It looks like I should change my search or at least expend it.

Can anyone help me my last name is Thompson but I'm having a hard time finding any one with thompson who knows who My gma is or my gpa.

Lost track of ancestors after John Thompson, born in N. Ireland in 1802 and died in Philadelphia, PA in 1869. Can anybody help?

Jimmy, John was also one of my grandfathers. I also had some trouble finding info on him, did you ever have any luck moving forward?

A friend of mine asked a young clerk at the store for a receipt.
Clerk said "What name"?
She said, " Thompson with a P."
She left the store with a receipt made out 'to Mrs. Pomson!'
