OK, now I see Paula's message. Have you looked at the Parkins and Perkins Y DNA site? http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Parkins-Perkins/ When you do scroll down to the R1a section, there you will see entries for Edward Perkins of New Haven, my direct ancestor. We do not match the John and Abraham Perkins families. At this point we have tested descendants of one of Edward Perkins 3 sons, John, because we have not yet been able to find descendants of David or Jonathan to test. Because of this and the fact that we test very close to the DNA signature of the Chiefs of the McDonalds, we can't be certain that the current results are those for Edward. Also, Paula's book notes the probability that Edward is a son of William Perkins and a half-brother of Rev Capt William Perkins of Topsfield, Massachussetts. We need a Perkins descendant of Rev William to test to check this theory. So, anyone meet those conditions? Let me know and we will get you tested. Regards, Steven C.
