Hi Everyone. I'm a newby. My sister has been doing this for a while, but she's a new Grandma and I don't want to disturb her. She uploaded my Dad's YDNA back in 2008, the year he passed away. Hasn't done much with it. I don't think either of us understand...
Here is my delema. I began combing records of Duplin County NC. My Great Grandfather was a brick wall for us. We know who he is, but NO ONE would tell my Grandfather or my Dad and siblings anything about where they come from .
So in a fluke, I found his Marriage record thru a friends brainstorming with me. (everyone likes a good mystery). From there and thru hundreds of trails, I think I found the rest.
So this morning I took a look at Dad's DNA again. Found how to get those exact matches...but nothing.
So I went back to the MAP and there was Thomas C Parker b 1814, d 1865 with my Father's Haplogroup. R-P312. Then I saw who I think is the same 3 great grandfather John Parker R-P312 (been tracking a John Parker for two days) with my Great grand right above him William Thomas Parker (sister put his name in instead of my Dad Jesse Parker) in the map as R-P312 in Haplogroup R1b No Parker DNA Matches....
Please, without sounding ignorant....what does this mean to a beginner? Is it a match? Am I one step closer to proving the direct line from Jesse J Parker Jr and John Parker if they all have the same Haplogroup?
Sincerely WANTING to be a Parker and not someone else,
Sheila Parker Benisek
