DNA Research

Overcome “brick walls” in your family research from this relatively new genealogical tool.

By testing the Y-chromosome of males bearing the Park/e/s surname and comparing the results with others in our database, we can determine whether participants share a common male Park/e/s ancestor.

With numerous well-researched lines represented in our database, each new project member is likely to find a genetic connection to others who may have valuable lineage information to exchange.

In the case of members who can only trace their Park/e/s ancestry back several generations, combining test results with the resources available to the Parke Society makes it possible to eliminate lineages which do not connect genetically, and to search the genetically linked lineages for likely candidates for the father of one’s earliest known male Park/e/s ancestor.

HAPLOGROUP I-M170

About My Haplogroup: Haplogroup I dates to 23,000 years ago or longer. LINEAGES not in branches I1, I2a or I2b are found distributed at low frequency throughout Europe.

HAPLOGROUP I-M223

About My Haplogroup: The lineage likely has its roots in northern France. Today it is found most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian populations in Northwest Europe and extends at low frequencies into Central and Eastern Europe.

HAPLOGROUP J-M172

About My Haplogroup: This lineage originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this lineage is found within Jewish populations.

HAPLOGROUP Q-M3

About My Haplogroup: This haplogroup is the only lineage strictly associated with native American populations. This haplogroup is defined by the presence of the M3 mutation. This mutation occurred on the Q lineage 8-12 thousand years ago as the migration into the Americas was underway. There is some debate as to on which side of the Bering Strait this mutation occurred, but it definitely happened in the ancestors of the Native American peoples.

HAPLOGROUP R-M269

About My Haplogroup: The R-M269 lineage likely began in West Asia. It is the descendant of the major R-M343 lineage. Some of your genetic cousins traveled northwest into Central Asia and on to Europe. Others moved south and entered the Levant Region.
