An Introduction
It is quite a while since I set up this Home Page and have decided, some 5 or 6 years on that it is time for a change, putting more emphasis on my photographic records than on my written records. You will hear less about me, although I have left my notes on my working life in for the time being, and see more of where I have been.
These pages are being changed gradually to galleries, the aim being to enable the reader to thumb through a wide selection of photographs, enjoying what they see. They are of reasonable quality - any taken before the days of digital photography have been scanned, mainly from the original negatives at a size of at least 6 megapixels (roughly 3000 x 2000), but for the purposes of presentation on this site, have been reduced to a maximum of 1200 pixels in any one direction for the galleries and 800 pixels for slides.
If you wish to use any of these personally, by all means do so but please let me know that you are doing so by contacting me at teamfocusrtl at hotmail dot com (presented in the proper way). If you wish to use any of these for professionally, or for publication, please contact me in the same way but we will have to negotiate!
Finally, any one interested in Family History Research into Thompsons and variations on the name may be interested in my site at www.thompsononename.org.uk which carries a database of just under 30,000 Thom(p)son records, mainly for the UK. You can search the database, or add new records, or seek help through placing a message on the site.
Enjoy!
