Excerpt from The Thompson Family
Western Europe the name Thompson is found, without its implying relationship among families so called. In no country, however, were the N orse men - more firmly established in historic times, as intruders and conquerers, than in Scotland; no where else did, their national influence persist longer; and in no other country are there so many families bearing the name of Thompson.
