Welcome to Our Family Ancestry
This site contains links to genealogies of families near to me. My father, mother, stepfather and my wife's parents.
It was my original purpose for this web site to only display the updated genealogy work of my aunt Ethel MacPherson. She had published her book "Descendants of David and Mary Thomson" in 1958. Robert Sewell in his site displays the contents of her book without updates. For the following 12 years she continued to gather data, which I have had in my possession. But as I checked around the various genealogies, I discovered that a number more of the Thomsons from Westerkirk, Dumfriesshire, Scotland have immigrated to Canada and the family tree had not been presented in its entirety in any one place. This is my attempt at doing this. Hopefully it will be useful to you.
In addition, my purpose in creating this web site was to share the Sipprell genealogy that my family has gathered with others. The earliest knowledge we have is William Sr. in Pennsylvania. No connection has been made to his Huguenot roots in France. In the process I discovered that William's wife Sarah Foster's ancestry can be trace even further back to 1595. Some believe her ancestry can be traced back through to Charlamagne (742-814) and beyond. I have made no attempt to gather a Foster genealogy. Many others have all ready done so. Hopefully the information presented will be useful to you.
If you have family connections to any of the people or any other questions, I would appreciate hearing from you. My email address is below. I must also note that I may have more data than is shown in this website. I show a limited number of generations for all these families.
