We now have a confirmed match on two more Thorn(e) members. One lists his family from New York and the other from New Jersey. Most likely they both descend from William Thorn and Susannah Booth. This is a great breakthrough for many that trace their roots back to the New York Thorn(e) family. If you suspect you have roots there , now is the time to test your DNA to see if you match this line. Also, we have other Thorn lines waiting to find their lineage matches. If you are a Thorn(e) male and uncertain of your ancestry or only suspicious of what line you descend from, now is the time to confirm your lineage through DNA. Are we certain that the West Virginia Thorn(e)'s were descendants from the New York Thorn(e)'s? Now we can confirm that. Also looking for those Thorn(e)'s from Pa,Va,WV,Vt,SC,and any other states as well as England Ireland Germany and European countries where Thorn(e)'s are notably from.
