Irv,
Thank you for the post. I do not know if I am any relation to Marvin. The interesting thing is that we, meaning my brothers and I, are nearly the only Van Horns we know. My grandparents divorced when my father was about three. He, my grandfather, remarried and had a daughter and son, but that's about it. My father kept the name Van Horn, but my grandmother remarried and, of course, changed her last name with the ceremony. Somewhere back in the history of the family the "e" was dropped from the end of the last name.
