Hello: I am looking for male Perkins surnamed descendants of Capt Rev William Perkins of Boston and Topsfield, and of Edmund Perkins, who would be interested in participating in a Perkins Y DNA study. I suspect Capt Rev William Perkins is a half-brother of my ancestor Edward Perkins of New Haven. I want to test a Perkins named male descendant of Capt Rev William Perkins to see if his Y DNA signature matches mine. The same is also sought for Edmund Perkins. Edmund Perkins is the ancestor of Thomas Handyside Perkins who founded the Perkins School for the Blind. Details on the study are located on this web page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/PerkinsDNA.html Regards, Steven C.
