I have lost contact with other Thomas family members since my father past in 1991. He was 22 yrs older than my mother, so i was quite young when he passed. I do know some of his brothers and sisters names. Most have passed. Most of my dads family started in Marshville, North Carolina, as children bout his family moved to Monroe, nc (after a fire) and Charlotte, NC. One moved to Ohio after marriage. But my dad joined the US navy and was in for 2 yrs.This is what becomes sketchy. while my grandmother was alive she said he had children in another state.maybe oregon. he was stationed in hawaii too i think, im not sure about his past and i want to know about children if he had any out of wed lock
