DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Allen by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Allen:
Park-96 and Parke-632 are not ready to be merged because: Information is far too limited and iffy. Two Allen Park/Parkes with 'abt' birthdates, no solid locations. One has parents and siblings. The other has wife and kids.
If there is any further information and sourcing that says these are the same may, I would approve.
Parke surname in New Jersey was changed to Parks or Park by various descendants in North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, & Georgia.
If there is any further information and sourcing that says these are the same may, I would approve.
