We now have 7 test results on Thorn/Thorne DNA and only 2 that match. So the old theory that we all were descendants from the New York family is incorrect. In fact to find so many Thorn/Thorne lines seems unusual. We are still needing those to test to find matches with these 6 lines. Especially looking for a descendant from Thomas Thorn of Virginia and the Thorn's from West Virginia. We have a test result from the New York family so if you are from that family it would be great to find a few more to match the one already submitted . Also curious about the Thorns from New Jersey. Where do they connect? Let's get some others tested to begin to connect the family lines and help us target our research to specific lines . If you know of any Thorn males that we can get to test or give them information on testing please contact me . I will be happy to help them understand the testing. To view results go to http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/t/thorne/index.html . There are two that haven't been posted yet but you can keep updated on the results there.
I am going to ask my uncle to do the test. I am sure he will be quite willing. We are reasonably sure we are descended from Thomas Thorn who landed in Gloucester, VA from England in 1635.
