Have you tried looking for something similar to Thompson such as Thomason or Thomas? or Somason if the indexer was having a bad day. might the T have looked like an F? Fompson? Fhompson? Shompson or even Simpson. and I have found in one of the census the census taker was REALLY bad and just put initals for everyone, so you have no idea if R. Thompson is your guy or R. L. Thompson is yours without really checking birthdates and everyone else's intials. I don't know how big the county is that you need to search but you may need to do it by hand, you know page by page yourself...sometimes that is the only way to find who you are looking for. The magic of the index and the internet only go so far.<br /><br />Hope I helped just a little, good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
