My sources say that the English Mayne family decend from Enulphus de Mayne who was a standard Bearer in the Army of William ! King of England and France in 1066. The family is supposed to be from the provence or Maine, France where the family has been sense the fall of the Roman Empire.
I am trying to locat the family of Mayne that lived in Doven in the early 1500s to take the DNA test to see if John Mayne, my ansestor in the USA in 1629 is kin.
