Help!!! We need other Thorn/Thorne males to test their DNA for common ancestors. As of now there are 4 Thorn/Thorne males that have tested and two of us connect. Jake Thorn and I have an exact match but we already knew that. The Thorn with German origin and Thorne with Oxford origin did not match us at all. I am thinking there are some other Thorn lines in the US that will connect to one of us that have tested. Interesting note is my DNA matches a MCAdams from Ireland. They have noted that my Y test is rare so I am possibly letting them do a deep search on my actual origin. As of now it seems Jake Thorn and my Thorn line is from Ireland originally. I would like to see if some of the other Thorn/Thorne families that arrived in America have different or same originations. Don't just believe England because someone told you that. I got a surprise and now it opens the door to research in Ireland instead of England. Those that are interested lets start a campaign to get as many male Thorn/Thornes tested as we can. It can advance research 100's of years. Et

So Elmer, How direct does the Thorn line have to be? My brother might qualify albeit we are Stuarts with Thorne grandparents...should work, huh? Also...what cost is involved?

Joy, It needs to be a Thorn male as Y-Chromosome is passed from male to male. I wished he could test. It seems that the ones who are willing aren't Thorn males.

I am not a Thorn, But I am wondering who you contacted and what the cost was to do this DNA testing? Thanks, Michelle

Michelle, My DNA was done through familytreeDNA . The info can be found on www.worldfamilies.net . I believe the cost starts at $99 or $119. for a 12 marker test. Sometimes the have a coupon offer of $30. off of that price. -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Bellinger [mailto:michellebellinger@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 4:30 PM To: THORN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Thorn/Thorne DNA 3 now confirmed I am not a Thorn, But I am wondering who you contacted and what the cost was to do this DNA testing?
