The
Thompson
Family

~ Biographies ~ Photos ~ Help Wanted! ~

My great-great-grandfather was Andrew Thompson, a blacksmith, who came to Canada from Ireland as a boy during the Great Famine. He met his wife Eliza Mitchell (another Irish immigrant) here, and the two settled in Simcoe County, Ontario. They eventually had ten children, all of whom are documented here. Their story is typical of 19th century pioneers in south-central Ontario.

Help Wanted!

I'm trying to trace the Thompsons of Fivemiletown, Co. Fermanagh, and the Mitchells of Sligo Town, Co. Sligo, circa 1845 back in Ireland. Any information would be appreciated.
