If Pauline promises not to delete or start another thread about this strand of the Thornes, might Ann be willing to try again?

The records probably came from the free site familysearch.org. Which anyone can access if you can learn your way around.

But really Pauline you must have realized that by deleting the thread you would be losing all of that info. Why didn't you copy it first?

oh dear - and I found so much information :-( :-(

What a shame! I wonder who gave that advice? Many of us do look-ups on the Genealogy Chat Board as well as Find Ancestors. I know I do.

Yes it was me but it was suggested that I post it in Find Ancestors not Genealogy Chat and delete it. Being new to this I have now lost that information :-(

Yes this is my g/grandfather

Pauline, is this your man?

Looking for information on Christian Horne born 1867 Mexico or New Mexico. Father Peter, Mother Elizabeth. Peter possibly born in Scotland around 1835-40 worked as a mining inspector (so the story goes). Christian come to NZ in around 1896 married Mary Ellen Tobin in 1898 they had 10 children. Don't know if Christian had any siblings. Any help tracing this family would be appreciated. We don't have much information at all. So any hints would be great.
