Pam Thanks for your vote of confidence. As you can see by the volume of traffic and its contents, people tend to vote with their E-mails. And although most of them do not seem to be relatives, I am just as excited with their news and findings as they are. And you never know when you might see something that relates to your line of research. All Thornes' are interesting to me.

Dear List My Thorn line seems to start in Suffolk in 1600s, then to Essex and on to London. Would love to know if my original Thorn actually was born in Suffolk or if he came from elsewhere but havent got that far yet.
