Welcome to

The Parrent/Parent Y-DNA Genealogy Home Page


NOTICE: This page is a work in progress and will change frequently.

The primary goal of the project is to group many of the Parent/Parrent/Parant/Parrant lines in America and Canada in the late 1700s-early 1800s and perhaps associate them with men who had come from the British Isles and France.

The success of the larger purpose of this project will only be attained if we can attract a large set of participants whose Parent/Parrent/Parant/Parrant lines are reasonably well documented. I urge you to contact any/all Parent/Parrent/Parant/Parrant researchers you've had contact with and refer them to this page and/or to me.

DISCLAIMER: I have no connection with or financial interest in Family Tree DNA, the company chosen to conduct the Y-DNA testing.

Understanding the results of Y-DNA testing within the context of genealogy is not easy because it involves a knowledge of both genetics and statistics that most of us don't have. Fortunately, there are folks out there who understand both and are genealogists as well. The best of both worlds! Immediately below are URLs where you can find more information than you want or need. I would urge that you visit these sites and read a little. Please *don't* be intimidated by all the jargon and details. I'd suggest that you go to the tutorial site first. Read as much as you can and then scroll down to see the results to date for the Parent Project.

As results for the Kits arrive, they are compared to the others and a color is assigned. Each distinctly different Parrent/Parent line has a different color. Where the results match well enough to suggest a common Parrent/Parent ancestor, they have the same color. (Markers within a family group that differ from the rest are high-lighted.) Traditional genealogical research must be used to identify that common ancestor.

We now have 7 participants with 7 kits returned for analysis. Current test results are shown shown here.

I would urge each of you to go to your personal FTDNA web page and upload your results to the YSEARCH database so that Parrent/Parent researchers who have had their tests done by other companies can compare their results to yours. If you want me to do this for you, please send me an e-mail asking me to do it.

FamilyTreeDNA comment: "It is obvious from our observation of 1000's of samples that some markers change or mutate at a faster rate than others. While that actual 'faster rate' has not yet been definitively calculated, not all markers should be treated the same for evaluation purposes. The markers in red have shown a faster mutation rate then the average, and therefore these markers are very helpful at splitting lineages into sub sets, or branches, within your family tree. Explained another way, if you match exactly on all of the markers except for one or a few of the markers we have determined mutate more quickly, then despite the mutation this mismatch only slightly decreases the probability of two people in your surname group who match 11/12 or even 23/25 of not sharing a recent common ancestor."
