THE THOMPSONS OF MARYLAND
FAMILY HISTORY PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

SCOPE: This particular family history project follows the family of Herbert Ellsworth THOMPSON, Jr. (b. 16 May 1909, d. 6 Apr 1998). As of December 2007 research of this line covers seven generations and goes back to Richard THOMPSON (b. Abt. 1812). The THOMPSON PROJECT TREE shows the relationships involved. Click on the DESCENDANTS link to review the information available so far. Please inform the undersigned if there are corrections to be made.

CENSUS AREA: For the census research this project presently includes Montgomery County in Maryland. The specific part of this county covered so far is the area of Berry Township, the 5th District, and towns such as Colesville, Spencerville, Olney, and Silver Spring. Please click on the U.S.CENSUS link to review anything that is covered there for this area. Downloading and arranging this information is still in progress. For actual research on line there is a subscription fee to access the census site at Ancestry.com.

FAMILY SOURCES: Information from family largely comes from previous work on the Akeley family line.
