Comments: Notes about Jean/Regina from grand daughter of Elmer and Frieda Thompson

Age 16 According to a grand daughter of Frieda (Elmer's first wife), Frieda never divorced her husband Elmer and she also never remarried. Elmer left his wife Frieda in 1945 immediately after Elmer's mother-in-law Fredericka died in early Nov 1945. The day after the funeral, Elmer left his wife & child and moved in with Jean. Frieda is not sure when the affair began but Jean was already pregnant with her first child, Richard, when they began living together. Frieda felt that Jean may have been pregnant before meeting Elmer but this is unknown. Richard took Elmer's last name and Frieda believes all the other children were Elmer's up to and including Benjamin.

Richard Thompson was the oldest, and may or may not be a child of Elmer Thompson
Benjamin died in 1983 from a suicide
The other 3 children Catherine, Lynn and Benjamin where all alive in 2010
