Hi all........ Have been reading all the rollcall responces and i think it is very exciting except for that i think i belong to the wrong list, well not really the wrong one but Parks is very distant.... I know that Parke, Park, Parks etc. probably come from very similiar places but all i have been reading about is Parks the last couple of days....... I have found many Parks went north to Canada in the early days........ There are Two very big and very well documented families with the name Parke, which is what i descend from, One is Robert which i dont descend from but i do know that Princess Diana, Huphrey Bogart, and Orville and Wilbur Wright did descend from Robert....... The other is Roger Parke, which is my line that came to america in 1682.... Actually with help from many others and the Parke Society i have this line to 1537. is there another rootsweb list that is for Parke or is it part of this one? all i have seen is Parks........? Many people in my line still spell their name Parke but for a reason i dont know why, my line dropped the e around 1822......... If others are looking for Parke you might check out my websight......the url is below. people tell me my links dont work , they do but during heavy internet hours it seems to not work right, am sorry about that, my server says everything is fine but i know its not, just have to keep trying if you are really interested. www.mcn.org/h/parke_roots/ is there a PARKE list or is the right list to belong too? Thanks all...... Good luck in your searches :) Happy Hunting Ricky Park Parke Society Member #1330
