Today in Family History - 21 Sep

My 2nd great-grandfather Paul Thompson died on this day in 1935 in Muskegon County, Michigan [1, 2, 3]. He was the immigrant ancestor for the Thompson line.

My 7th great-grandfather Antoine Trabue, Jr. was reportedly born on this day in 1669 in Montauban, Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France. If you know of documentation for this event (primary or secondary), please contact me or leave a comment.

WELCOME

This blog was created to share the results of years of research on my family history. My ancestors range from some of the earliest arrivals in North America in the 1600s to immigrants in the mid- to late 1800s; from soldiers in the British colonies to accused horse thieves in Texas; from those who knew only common folk to those who knew the likes of Chief Justice John Marshall, Sam Houston, and Stephen F. Austin.

The complete family tree with digitized supporting documentation and many photographs can be found at The Thompson Family Genealogy website. This information is also largely present on RootsWeb.

I am happy to share information, documentation, or family photographs. Just leave a comment or contact me if you need a copy of anything.

If you have documentation, pictures, or stories on any of these families, please leave comments or contact me.
