    Hello, Michael R. Parker, Patricia Ross Parker - I have taken the Ancestry DNA and I have my results/raw data back. I have uploaded them, and they were accepted, in Family Tree DNA but I cannot find out which group I am a match for. I am falling into the problem of Group 5 or Group 18. My father had my GGGGG-Grandmother as Ann Clayton but with my GGGGG-Grandfather (he has Nathaniel Parker) which everyone else is saying was married to Elizabeth Scott. So I am wanting to find out which line I am in. So my question is which "upgrade" do I purchase to find out? Y-37, Y-67 or Y-111. Thank you for any help.

    Mark, are you a biological Parker? Yes, we can help you. Mike

    Is anyone working on autosomal DNA Parker matches?

    Hello, Leeman Charles Parker - The recent post to you from Elizabeth Graydon Peery is very good advice. She has had considerable experience with testing in her family.

    Until 2014, Ancestry.com offered their form of YDNA testing. Since 2014, it does not offer YDNA any longer, but does offer other types of tests. None of those test, unfortumately, offer the analyses of replicative YDNA tests. They appear to rely primarily on their subscribers' family histories, family trees, and anecdotal family lore.

    From 2002 until 2014, Family TreeDNA offered YDNA testing for eligible Parker males. Results and the Family Groups went into the original Parker Heritage website YDNA Project

    However, since 2014, the original Parker Heritage YDNA Project no longer functions as it did before. It has become primarily archival, and we continue to help Parker family historians as possible. See yDNA button above on the Parker Heritage masthead for the old, original website.

    Now, administrators manage the Family Tree Parker YDNA Project as sponsored by testing company FTDNA. Google Family Tree online to learn all about the company's testing selections AND how the new Project works. Only Parker surnamed males who test specifically through Family Tree YDNA have their results included in the large and growing FTDNA Parker YDNA Project spreadsheets and website. Theirs' are the only results that are matched into current or newly formed Parker YDNA Project Family Groups there.

    FTDNA is the only testing company I ever recommend, and YDNA testing from Family Tree is all I ever suggest.

    Be sure to thank Elizabeth Peevey for her good advice. If you have further questions, also feel free to contact me here at Parker Heritage or by email jandpparker@msn.com. I will be glad to respond, as you and I have exchanged often in past years.

    Patricia Ross Parker, Ed.D., Parker Heritage moderator and researcher for Parker YDNA Project Family Groups.

    To my knowledge, Ancestry does not do Y DNA testing. If you want to connect to your Parker ancestors, do a Y DNA 67 or 111 test through FTDNA. They will put you into a Parker Family Group matching your Parker ancestors. The Ancestry test is an autosomal DNA test which gives you matches on all your family lines going back around 6 generations. But you have to have a subscription to Ancestry to view them. Then you have to figure out how you are related to your matches. Some have family trees and some don't. 23andme or ftdna is better for autosomal testing. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription.

    You can use the Ancestry I believe, an old link to the yDNA Project is on the list of our board. 45 different families some just 2 matches but some like my family #7 is large. Mike

    Are you saying what I have through Ancestry does not connect? If I elect to test through Family Tree DNA, I am assuming I use the yDNA test? Others have said that they have not connected to an existing group, what are those odds?

    You can ask the Parker y DNA project to accept your results. Send Dennis West in this site. Mike
