Just got a new Apple - 12.9-Inch iPad Pro and have been trying to connect to my thumb drive to retrieve some info stored on it. It will not connect, can anyone help. Thank You

Presumably your issue is simply a physical connection issue - your iPad Pro having a USB-C port, while your thumb-drive has the older USB Type-A plug? If so, you either need an adapter, or you can connect your iPad and thumb-drive to a USB-C hub.

Here are two examples marketed by Apple:

USB-C to USB Adapter

If you have some other issue, perhaps you can provide more details as to the nature of your problem:
