There is extensive VanHorn data available. I used to have it, then it was found that a wrong connection had been made, therefore I no longer had VanHorn ancestry.

As the manager of the Van Horne mail list, message board and the Van Horne yDNA Project (any spelling of Van Horne), I can state with about 99 and 44/100% certainty that Van Horns found in Bucks County are very likely the descendants of Christian Barentsen. The best source on Christian Barentsen, is The American Genealogist article, which begins in Vol. 43, ends in Vol 45, and has an addendum in Vol 47. There is a separate atricle on Jannetje Jans Van Buskirk, his wife, in Vol 38. The Van Horne yDNA project has three Christian Barentsen descendants who have already been tested, establishing his genetic pedigree. If you are a male Van Horn / Van Horne descendant, you immigrant ancestor can very likely be comfirmed or identified by participating in the project. Please write me privately if you have any questions: msvnhrn@jps.net. Marleen Van Horne
