Elmer....I'm from Texas, family here for 100 years, but came from Nine Partners New York, probably back to William from Lynn, Mass, from England....would do DNA test if you think it would provide any useful info best George

George, This is one of the main Thorne/Thorn Families in the US. It has been said that most of the Thorne/Thorns in America came from that line. I would sure like to see this line tested and to see if any of us are related to your line. Your line is most critical to DNA testing. As you know there doesn't seem to be too many Thorn males around so it would be most helpful. The website is www.worldfamilies.net for the information and how to order the kit. Please let me know if you are submitting a test. I might be able to get you a $30. discount.I did the 37 marker test . They have a 12 and a 25 marker test as well. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
