I was glad to see the good advice you posted to Rob re: relying on YDNA male surnames instead of female ancestral surnames. Hope it will benefit his research.
Also, like many of us – you have relied for many years on Dennis West’s Parker Family DNA Project record site, associated with Parker Heritage website. So, I want to remind you and other readers that handling of Parker YDNA results has changed.
In December 2014, Dr. Dennis West made his last updates to the Parker Family DNA Project page. See the following link above for details.
http://web.utk.edu/~corn/parkerdna/ .
Since then, Dr. West has been posting only FTDNA-tested results to the FTDNA PARKER site. For results, see the following link:
https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/parker/about/background
THE GOOD NEWS IS…..All of the previously added result entries – about 2004 through 2014 – are still archived here at Parker Heritage for your reference. See the yDNA button on your Parker Heritage site Home Page.
Good luck in your research.

My 2nd Great Grandfather William D Parker. This was in "Friends of the Labourer" from Hillsboro Ala, July 11th 1878. He indeed was gored by a bull. He was castrating the bull for plowing.
We have just learned the death of our old friend, William
PARKER who was killed by the gore of an ox, one day last week
near Moulton.
This was from the Moulton Advertiser newspaper. Shows Polly's folks names.
Departed this life, April 23rd, 1878, Mr. J.T. PARKER aged 71
years 3 months and 8 days. In the year 1838 he was married to
Polly C. NEELEY daughter of John W. and Sallie NEELEY, then
residing in Limestone county, Alabama, with whom he lived
near 50 years and raised a family of 12 children.
Ron, I have a pic in my photos of my 2nd Great Grandfather William Campbell Parker. He was Lewis Parker's grandson and son of Henry Campbell Parker. I saw your post on Campbell Parker.
Recently, you said you had contacts with some of the family of Hezekiah Parker. Was this Hez. Vickers Parker? Or his son? Can you share any other info concerning this line? Such as a name and their location? I would greatly appreciate it.
What is up with Raymond Bass. I just received his last comment and apparently he has left Parker Heritage.
He now does not have a page. When you have atime take a look at his on-going comments. I don't know what to think.
