Can anyone help with my Parr family? Larena Edna Parr Worrell was my great grandmother and her father was Charles Parr and mother was Emma Vanarsdale Parr, Charles Parr parents were William Parr and Sarah Reid Parr. As far as I know they are all from Philadelphia and then some of them later moved to Camden Co. NJ.

Now it means I will have to take some time connecting the dots and completing a large part of my family tree ancestry. Also I now know that before it was PARR, it was PAAR, and before that it was PFAAR. Some even went under the name of PAR. > > Thanks a million Dave. > > > > ==== PARR Mailing List ==== > To post a message (query, reply or other area/surname data) to the list, send it to PARR-L@rootsweb.com > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.
