Minthorn DNA Surname Project- Background

Background

Are The Minthorne, Minthorn, Minturn, and Minton's of NYC, NY, NJ, and Rhode Island connected? That has been a long time question that has been asked by everyone researching their Minthorn family line and various spellings. The answer that everyone has concluded is probably. No known documents have ever been found to actually prove any type of connection. Now with the help of DNA we can finally get the answers we've all been hoping to find. Are we connected? If so where is the connection? What generation are we connected in? Lets solve this mystery with a DNA test. We are searching for anyone with a connection to these surnames to participate in this DNA test. To find this answer we need you to join!

As people from various lines join our DNA project their last known ancestor will be listed so others researching can know what lines are being compared.
