I'm trying to get my files organized. I'll send you some of the info I have on the Parkers in Maine. What software do you use for your family search files? I can send you a GEDCOM that should work in most of the modern programs. I use Personal Ancestral File (PAF) to track my data. My Parker ancestors did go West and ended up here in Utah. They joined the LDS church in Maine in about 1835 and ended up in Utah in about 1850. I live near Salt Lake City. My Samuel Parker (1790 - 1846) and his daugher, Mary Jane Parker did go to Ohio from Maine. They went to Kirtland, Ohio in about 1836. If your ancestors went there also, then we are probably in the same Parker family. Mary Jane Parker is my gg grandmother. She married Thomas Butterfield and they were pioneers in Utah. Samuel Parker died in Council Bluffs, Iowa and never made it to Utah. I tried to reply to this using my MSN email, but it bounced. Guess I need to reply here on the web site.
