A Family Connection

I received an email today from someone who discovered our blog in a search for common ancestors. Here's that email:

Hello,
I ran across your blog when I was looking for genealogical information on Sarah Allsop Thompson. My Great-Great Grandfather is John Ira Allsop Jr. Your web page is wonderful. I hope you don't mind but I added a picture from your page to Sarah's findagrave memorial?Here are links to her and other Allsop family members:

Here's a photo that Auntie Nola sent me of her Alaska Sundgren bunch! This is Donald Jr. & his wife, Diane with their children, spouses and grandchildren. Thanks for the photo! I believe they live in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Welcome John Edwin Thompson Family Members who are New To Our Blog!

I was happy to find this email and be able to connect with some Thompson cousins in Texas!

Tiffany: I found your blog today while doing a random google search for "EE Thompson Family Reunions". I had to laugh when I saw a picture on your blog that came from my Grandma's scrapbook-the one of Jessie, Ralph & Ed on a blue background with a floral like flame with their names written in gold pen ink. My mother and I finished up the scrapbooks after Grandma had passed away.My grandfather is Rulen Thompson-son of John Edwin Thompson & Nancy Elvira Christensen Thompson.Thank you for sharing your blog-it was a real treat!

Julee: Hi Tiffany! I am so glad you found us! That was one of our hopes in establishing the blog---being able to connect with more family members. Please pass this along to family members. We welcome all stories and any photos you may have. Can I post your email about finding the blog and your comment on the photo? Cute story! Where do you live? We are in Rupert Idaho. Julee

Tiffany: Yes, you may share my email...
I am in Austin, Texas....My mom, Merlene lives here as well. Of course Grandpa is still in Jerome. I also have been working on my trees on both geni.com & ancestry. I also have a Thompson Family Ties FB group.

Julee: Sam and Goldie Miller Bloggers, I would like to encourage all of you FB Users to look up "Thompson Family Ties" and join. You can't miss the photos there!
