I have cantacted Lois Bernard who also is a Thomson to ask her about sharing her email address with you.

In interacting with Lois and Tony I have found them to be very fun cousins. I have asked Lois if she would contribute to the blog. Wayne if you would like to contrubute some fun and interesting (somthing you are excited about) family history you are welcome to email it to me an I will post it.
