Hello: The Parkins/Perkins Y DNA study has 12 participants, 8 have submitted test kits, and 5 results are back and are on the web page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/PerkinsDNA.html We are waiting for test results for a descendant of Rev Peter Perkins of TN and KY. There is a 3 step difference between a descendant of Daniel Perkins of Kent Co., MD and Thomas and Peter Perkins of Wilkes Co., NC. The relationship may be difficult to document. The Daniel Parkins family is supposed to be from New Hampshire before Maryland. We are looking for male Parkins/Perkins named descendants of Abraham Perkins of New Hampshire, Edward Perkins of New Haven, CT; Rev William Perkins of Topsfield, MA; Edmund Perkins of Boston, Nicholas and Constantine Perkins of Virginia and any other Parkins/Perkins in colonial New Jersey, Pennsylvannia, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas. Details on the study and costs are on the web page. The study is open to all variant spellings of Parkins/Perkins anywhere in the world. Please contact me directly if you want to participate. Thanks, Steven C. Perkins [email protected] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/
