I am a retired high school Applied Technology teacher and Technology Coordinator. Also an Army veteran, I have been a community activist, newspaper publisher, water gardener, prize-winning newsletter editor, and now publish the website and newsletter for my local gun club.

My father was in the US Navy during World War II and came home to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder. He and my mother were married shortly before he graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In the late 1940’s, foreign jobs paid well, so he took a job with American Smelting and Refining (ASARCO) in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. I was born in El Paso, Texas while he was training for his job.

We lived in San Luis Potosi for a few years, during which time my mother returned to Colorado and filed for divorce. After the divorce, my dad got a promotion as Plant Engineer at the ASARCO smelter in Denver, Colorado, his home town. I grew up in Aurora, a suburb east of Denver.

I got started in Genealogy asking questions about my mother. I loved my stepmother dearly, but still needed something more. After my dad passed away in 1994 and my stepmother moved to Texas to be with her sister, my research shifted into high gear. I found notes from a cousin in my Dad’s papers, and soon had everything I could get on my paternal lines, which really wasn’t much.

Computers were just coming into widespread use, and I was still searching for my birth mother and my maternal line. I always joked that I didn’t celebrate St. Patrick’s day because I was German, but after I re-located her in 2005, I found a rich heritage of aristocracy all over Europe and tons of settlers of Colonial America.

As I was working on my lines, my wife started wondering about her lineage. More and more records were showing up on computer by this time, and our research uncovered several cross-over ancestors, especially royalty in Scotland and France. Where my ancestors tended to settle in New England and move West, hers settled in the South and moved to the Northwest.

Before changing my major in college so I could teach, I had been a History and Political Science major and, to this day, I find myself going off on tangents as I’m working. At times, I’m finding the historical times of my ancestors are far more interesting than my ancestors themselves.

Welcome to All in the Past! This is a Genealogy site about two families – THOMAS and MURRAY – with thousands of ancestors who helped make history all over the world. My name is Michael Thomas, and my wife is Cynthia (Murray) Thomas. We hope you find our site useful.

Our research began slowly in the early 1990’s, then exploded around 2005.  To date, we have identified over 25,000 ancestors from all walks of life – farmers and shopkeepers to police officers and teachers, bankers and soldiers to engineers and undertakers, with everything in between. Along the way, we also found our two families crossed several times in history, so we share common relatives.

In our database, you will find kings and queens and other royalty from all over Europe and Asia, Catholic saints and religious leaders of all kinds, Knights Templar, famous inventors, politicians and adventurers, as well as those who would be considered “common folk.” We recently found deep roots in Scotland and its Clan structure, with many relatives from many Clans but, also, many direct connections to a few Clans that had unique impacts on the history of Scotland over the centuries.

Ours is a story (or, rather, many stories) of men and women who came together, created families, lived their lives, and left a legacy we are only now discovering. You are welcome to join us as our story unfolds. As time goes on, I will tell you more about the trials and tribulations, the successes and failures, of genealogical research. Many people research the details – the wills, deeds, bibles, photos, tombstones, and the rest – of their ancestors’ lives, I was at a disadvantage when I started (as I will explain as we go along), so I used my background and interest in history, instead, and simply collected links and names to other family members. From time to time, a name would send me off in a new direction, allowing me to place them in some part of the timeline of history. To me, that is the magic of Genealogy. Let me share it with you!
