Richard Thornton

I think I will use this forum to build my family tree, for additional input. My father adopted the name of Thornton but his birth name is Elmer Wise. My mother's side has been traced to 1627, Zachary Wade, born in Warwickshire, England.

I have read the nine simple rules.

I have looked using "Wade" and there is one profile to be adopted, think I will begin there. The profile is Zachary Wade.

I have also traced my wife's family Hinrich Dirks, who died on March 6, 1758.
