son line out of Harford Co, Maryland. His first printing was the 1961 Edition. The pics follow the sequence of the pages of the book, with some file names showing major topics sequences. Much of the material in this book regarding the Zach Caleb Thompson line of Fayette Co, Iowa, was taken from Blanche Horton's scrapbook, which I will eventially upload. However, my FTM files contain most of both Tommie Thompson and Blanche Horton's material so if working on Thompson genealogy, one needs to start with a PDF copy of my Thompson file. iowaz@swbell.net or iowaz@hotmail.com

) of the Thompson Genealogy is based on the 1940-1950+ collection of mateiral in Blanche Horton's Thompson Scrapbooks (also uploaded). The 1979 edition contains minimal updates. The pics in the 1962 edition are on better paper thus took better digitals. If starting on Thompson Genealogy BZ's files will be the place to start as many additions and errors to Blanche's and Tommie's work have been condensed/added as they did not fully understand Fay.Co.IA or have modern resources. iowaz@hotmail.com
