Looking for anyone with Thompson ancestors that came from Fogo Island. My ancestor Peter Thompson was born abt 1818-1822 and came from Fogo in the Cape Verde Islands. Am unsure whether he changed his name before emigrating to Australia. Would love to hear from anybody that has a Thompson ancestor from Fogo, or anyone that lives there.

kind regards

Hi Andrew,
I'm descended from a Peter Thompson from Fogo also, I'm guessing it's the same fellow. My line is from his second son Louis Thompson>May Thompson>Dorothy Furniss (Dorothy is my mother). I've come to a stop at Cape Verde and have a little, slightly confusing info on Peter's wife, Amelia. Through another online site I've connected with someone else who is also descended from Peter through Louis. We may eventually connect all our Aussie cousins! Look forward to hearing if we're tracing the same bloke.
