Using DNA as a genealogy tool along with a good paper trail.

[Wayne N. Parker]

This is how I am using Y-DNA as a tool to help me research and separate the different Parker families.

1. I have enter some information from all the members of FG#7 to my file as I have been blessed with a lot of good information about my Parker direct line as they left a great paper trail (but I had to find it)  I have spent thousands of hours researching the different families in my file.
   

2. Using information from a lot of different sources, I have added and I am still adding information about the early Parker families in VA and NC that are known to be members of FG#7.

3. By using information from both sides of the “brick wall”, I will have the information available both for myself and other Parker researchers to use to break through the wall. In other words use information from either or both sides of the wall to make the connection through the wall.
   

4. I have also added information about other Parker DNA groups in my file.

5. Remember my file changes as I prove or disprove the facts.

6. I have enclosed just a small part of my file belove.
