WOW! UNBELIEVABLE JOHN!Your are GREAT!!!!
The first list of names you have were spelled Tompson, which obviously are incorrect. Because they are MY FAMILY! When i continued reading, those names appeared once again THOMPOSON.
Emerson and Lola are my grandparents (my dad's folks), Albert and Ester are Emersons parents. And of course their other children are Fannie, James and Jewel. I never knew my PaPaw's siblings, however I understand Jewel was still alive up until maybe the last 10-15 years. I believe she last live in Iowa and her husband was John McGinnis? i have ran that name throughout the web trying to contact John or their children for more info. From what i have ever heard, Fannie (papaw's sis) was deaf and or mute? And that Jewel left Alabama and "never looked back" or contacted anyone until her last few years. My father has Parkinson's disease - and where it doesnt seem to be in the family line I still wanted to investigate. Also, their seems to be some tidbit of info that Joann (his sister) and Billy (his brother) seems to not allow him to know and would not let him talk to Jewel or her husband John.
BTW - Billy (my dad's brother) passed away last year. His sister is still alive.
Thank you so much John for the info w/the dates and all. I will go over everything with my father. You are truly wonderful!
