Book Description

Excerpt from The Descendants of John Thomson, Pioneer Scotch Covenanter: Genealogical Notes on All Known Descendants of John Thomson, Covenanter, of Scotland, Ireland and Pennsylvania, With Such Biographical Sketches as Could Be Obtained From Available Published Records In no way can one obtain a better idea of the character of the records it was originally hoped would be included in the present book than by reading carefully the following instructions which were sent to every descendant of Pioneer John Thomson whose address was known, on at least two occasions, namely, when the work of compilation was first started in 1912, and after the records then on hand were placed in type in 1916. The information we wish to obtain on the family tree, arranged in the order of importance, is as follows: first - The Full home (not merely initials) of every, descendant of the Pioneer, the Full Name of the person married in each case, and the Full Name of each child born to every couple. Second - The Dates of all births, marriages and deaths. Third - The Present Address of every living descendant. Fourth - The Place of birth, marriage and death of every descendant.
