hi janet,
              i only have a two page family history of the thomson family ,it is titled robert mcgavin thomson and is clearly incomplete,it names robert mcgavin thomsons children as robert leonard ,percy,ida,james,and dene. then leonards children are gerald,rona,sybil,pat,and joan,iam fairly sure gerald full name was gerald gilbert mcgavin thomson ,ibelive he had 3 children.janet i have a sister in nz she is a member of the nz society of genealogists and may be able to help you.my main intrest in the thomson family is to find out how a catholic nun called queenie sister paulinus of nola fits in,she gave me a picture of my gg grandfather rev matthew mcgavin
