Jackie, I'm sure you are correct in principle - but it was the combination of Donald's forename and Sofie Elisabet's maiden name which led me to think this might be the "right" match for Christian Strommer - always assuming Christian Strommer and Cristian Tomson are indeed one and the same - and even though their other two children apparently used the surname Bonnevie.
Looking more closely at the profiles on Geni again today and following up with links via Google, and even though they are written in Finnish, it's clear they are pretty thorough. I would be very surprised if those researchers had missed a third child of Donald and Sofie - but never say never !!!
But pending someone somewhere coming up with a record, looks like we need to continue looking elsewhere too. |

Good morning Jan Peter,
I have scanned photographs of my Grandmother Maud and a second with Christian In British Army uniform with all the children.
Thank-you for your assistance in posting these on site for me.
Sincerely,
Derek. |

I'm reminded because an old researcher one time told me they found their ancestor was listed as having moved to Wyoming and he set to searching in Wyoming records and was unsuccessful. It turned out that it was to the town Wyoming in the next county, not the state..
Jackie, looked for this today - only through Google - but no match.

Derek, don't think this has been picked up in this thread to date.
On Ancestry, there are two public member trees which include Cristian Tomson born Norway 1883. They are the Mault and Thomas family trees. I don't have full access to Ancestry, but maybe some community member has, and could check these out to see if there are any clues there. |

Grandmother Maud (not dated).
On the back: "Mother of Rose, Christine, Doris, Marjorie, Daisy, Tom and Frank".

Christian with the children, from clockwise: Tom, Frank, Rose, Christine, Marjorie, Doris, Daisy.
Although not dated; Christian is still in British Army uniform so this was possibly taken towards the end of WW1 before Christian went to sea.

Thank-you Jan Peter, you're a star.
The photograph of Christian (with all of his children) is what this topic is all about.
I've a gut feeling that we're not too far away from solving his antecedents.
The photograph of Grandmother Maud as stated has no date, but, it bears a striking resemblance in age to the earlier one posted on this site when Maud was posing with an unknown lady.
I will take this time to thank-you all who have contributed to the search of Christian. |

Derek, I managed to get someone to look at this on Ancestry. No luck I'm afraid - neither tree has any parents, nor indeed any siblings, for Cristian |

Derek, I spent some time today looking at the UK National Archives records of naturalisations in the early 1900's. Lots of C(h)ristians, including not a few from Norway. But unfortunately no T(h)ompsons.
This is just for the record - I was hoping there might be details of addresses and parentage in any file. . |

I concur with your finding. I checked a Britain (England and Scotland) gazetteer from 1984 hard copy but no village or place named Norway in either country.

Derek, yep, these are the member's trees. Interesting to see that neither has the two later born sons - looks like you are further ahead than them in your research on this particular relationship. |
