I started my genealogy research in 1991 at the Will Clayton Genealogy Library in Houston, TX. After I retired in 2008, I now use the Internet for just about all of my research. I try to find and use primary sources first then secondary sources using wills, deeds, Bible records, court records census and tax records and now I use DNA test results.
My direct Parker line is from Nansemond County, Virginia, Chowan Co., NC, Granville Co., NC, Bedford Co., TN, Choctaw, Webster, and Montgomery Counties of Mississippi. William Parker born in England and died in Nansamond Co., VA is my oldest known Parker ancestor. I have had my y-DNA tested and was matched into the Parker DNA Project as a member of FG#7 (P239) Kit # 145926 I now use the results of DNA testing as a major tool in my genealogy research.

Note: We have y-DNA matches from all three of William Parker grandsons (Richard, Thomas and Francis Parker) as part of FG#7 Parker DNA Project.

NOTE: There are three different Richard Parker living in the late 1600's in VA and so far as I know, no researcher has ever found any primary or secondary sources of information nor have been any y-DNA results that can connect the different Richard Parker as being kin to each other yet so many researchers are still combining and mixing the families of the three different Richard Parker into one family!!!!!
The Richard Parker of FG #7 is from the Parker family from Nansemond Co., VA and he IS NOT REPEAT NOT the Dr. Richard Parker of Charles City Co., VA, Henrico Co., VA and who was a descendant of the Parker family of Browsholme, England!!!
The Richard Parker of FG #7 is not the Richard Parker of Surry Co., VA either!!!

I took on the project of trying to connect all the members of Parker DNA FG#7 back to our common ancestor William Parker born 1604 in 2012.
