Marilyn is my sister. She's my father, Russell Thompson's, third child. The
reason my name is Smith is because he changed his name to Charles Smith to
marry my mother. Welp, he'd done that before so it was nothing new to
Russell because when he left women he just left them ... probably not too
much warning or anything, just got a wild hair up his butt and took off to
parts unknown after he'd made a complete ass of himself I suppose. The last
letter or contact he'd had with my mother was when I was about 14 years old.
He sent her a letter saying how sorry he was and asked her not to tell her
son just how sorry he was. But, back to the story. When he left his first
wife, Ursula and her two kids, he decided he'd marry again and he changed
his name to "Bud Smith" then married Dorothy Womack in California and had
two kids by her. Marilyn and Steve Smith since he'd just changed his name
instead of doing things the legal way and filing for divorce. Seemed easier
to him I guess to just change his name. I'm including this so that it's not
so confusing to figure out this family and Russell's offspring as I'm one of
them. Marilyn and Steve's names were changed to Marilyn and Steve Stringer
as their mom married Bill Stringer. A good man that took care of and adopted
Dorothy's children. They all lived around Stockton California and lived for
a time in Arkansas as well. So, meet my other sister, Marilyn and her
husband Joe Jones. I didn't know about them until June of 2002 nor did they
know about me. Our brother Mike and his daughter was searching the internet
for genealogy information and typed in "Russell Crawford Thompson" on the
Google search engine and my page was the first one that popped up. Mike
looked through it and he told me that he about fell out of his chair when he
clicked on the picture I had on my Bio. I could imagine the surprise at
finding out you've got a brother you never knew about via the internet. I
included that information about Russell on my bio and this was how I became
acquainted with my siblings. One of those Montell Williams type stories I
guess hahaha. We've got another brother that I haven't heard from or been
able to contact in Utah. James Russell Thompson is his name and his mother's
name is Claudia and he would be Russell's 5th child. I'm the 6th ..... well
that is of course the ones we know about ... there's probably others out
there that we don't know about.
