Biography
Born in Indianapolis to Virgil Leroy Park and Rose Therese Grady Park April 2, 1952. Virgil died July 16, 1952 of cancer and Rose married Paul Clement Smith 1954. I was raised in Plainfield, Indiana where Paul Smith was a policeman, farmer, auctioneer, carpenter, and musician (banjo & fiddle). Paul Smith died May 20, 1966 at the age of 57 due to heart attack. I graduated from PHS June 1970 and attended Indiana University 1970-73, then moved to Southern California July 1973 where I met Susan Olmsted and was married March 24, 1979. I worked in metals treating industry there 1973-1988 and in Portland, OR 1988-2008. I left to become a Special Process Auditor for the aerospace industry in 2008, retiring Jan. 2020 after visiting 33 countries and logging 1.7 million miles of travel. We've traveled to all 50 states and five Canadian provinces and now live in East Tennessee, where we enjoy RVing to visit our sons' families here, in KY and CO.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Have fun!
