Norman You might like to make use of the Guild electronic library to archive your Thornton data. If you are using a family tree program you can also submit a GEDCOM file to the library which can be searched by other members. There are instructions about lodging material with the Guild here: http://www.one-name.org/members/donating.html You can search the library here: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/library/zoom/search.cgi There are quite a few Thornton references though many of them are to place names rather than surnames. There is a library catalogue here: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/library/search.cgi Best wishes Debbie
