Hi Stuart,

Great to hear from you.

Yes I'm still using the same email address dmt@dmtajw.fsnet.co.uk. I haven't done much on the Thom side recently mainly because I still can't get back with definitive evidence before 1762 and the identification of Archibald's father is debatable. There is some accepted data which goes back earlier via John Thom and Mary Reid and even earlier James Thom and Jean (or even an Agnes) Fergusson but I had may contacts in the 1990's ref Candlish and Thom. Most of my info is on Excel (97 version) or Word (97)but I have downloaded a few other individual's Candlish and also a Sue(?) in Queensland.

I have three cousins now in Canada and until I did the research they had no idea Archibald and Margaret came over. My late father's brother Bob's two children - Mike Thom (lives in Calgary)and Vicky(Ash) his sister (Surrey,Vancouver) and my father's youngest brother Douglas has a son Douglas Thom living in Prince Rupert. All like me are either close to or already pensioners!!!!

I could send you some of what I have or are there any specific questions to start with perhaps?

Cheers for now,
Derek
