Thinking of Family

These pictures were taken almost 10 years ago.  A big group of us Thompsen/ Thompson cousins.

All of us are descended from these two people:





Karen and Nicoli had five sons, Erling, Ralph, Theodore (my dad) , Norris and James (Jimmy).

The family picked a color for their family- for example Erling's descendants all wore green shirts, Ralph's family wore white shirts etc.

Erling's son, Carl and his wife Leslie plus their children and grandchildren
Eldon, Carl and Elinore, Erling's children and their children and grandchildren
John, Susan and Jim, Norris's children, and Aunt Alice, their mother
Great-grandchildren of Nicolai and Karen

Ralph's family wore white shirts
Thompsen/Thompson Grandchildren
 Green for Erling, white  for Ralph, blue for Ted, purple for Norris and flowers for Jimmy



Four generations from Karen and Nicolai
