My primary focus is the History and Genealogy of the Thoron name.This name has occurred in several forms from the 11th Century. It is said to be a french adaption of the Latin Torroni or Torronus (meaning, best as we can tell, tower or battlement).By the 17th century, the modern form is well established in the walled city of Carcassonne, France.Various family members were Consuls and Merchents there for some 200 years.The Revolution dispersed much of the family and it fortunes.There remain 2 branches of the family, one in France and the other in the United States. | |
