Project Background:
Welcome to the home page for the Parkins, Perkins, Parkin, Perkin, Parkinson, Perkinson, Perkipile, and Perquin, surname Y DNA study project.

The Parkins and Perkins Y DNA Study was established 4 years ago to determine if there were any connections between the various Parkins and Perkins families throughout the world.


Project Goals:
The purpose of this project is to discover the genetic connections, if any, between Parkins and Perkins families throughout the world. It is hoped that Parkins and Perkins males who have had Y chromosome DNA analysis will send their results with their Parkins/Perkins ancestry to the coordinator to add to a database of tests. The database will then facilitate matches between descendants of the same individual where written evidence of such a connection is unknown.

Some questions we hope to answer:

What are the genetic relationships among the Parkins and Perkins families of Pilston, Monmouthshire in Wales; Ufton Court, Berkshire; Newent, Gloucestershire; Orton-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire; Lincolnshire; Bunny, Nottinghamshire; Hillmorton and Marston, Warwickshire; Madresfield, Worcestershire; Sheffield, Yorkshire; and London, in England?
What are the relationships among the Parkins/Perkins immigrants to colonial New England and Virginia?
What are the relationships among the Parkins/Perkins immigrants to the Caribbean islands?
What are the relationships among the Parkins/Perkins immigrants to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India?
What are the relationships, if any, among the Parkins, Perkins, Parkin, Perkin, Parkinson, Perkinson, Perkipile, or Perquin families of Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia and France?
There are discussion lists for all of the variant names in this study at Rootsweb.com and at Genforum.com. There is a web site for the Rootsweb Perkins-L list at Perkins List Home Page. The web site for the Parkins-L list does not currently work. There is a Parkins One Name Study by Mr Vivian J. Parkins. There is a Perkins One Name Study being done by Mr Robert E. Scales.


Project Results:
We have identified several groups of Parkins and Perkins families: Abraham Perkins and John Perkins of Massachusetts and New Hampshire; Edward Perkins of New Haven; Richard Parkins/Perkins of Maryland; Nicholas Perkins of Virginia.

We have yet to connect an American or Australian Perkins to a Perkins family in the UK and we need participants from the UK to do that.


DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members

* Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
