Please join us for our monthly Town Hall meeting, where we’ll be discussing some exciting new developments coming in the new year!

To join the meeting:

Please join us this Saturday, November 12th, at 3pm Eastern Time for another Parke Society Town Hall meeting online via Zoom. Open to all Parke Society members and interested non-members alike.

Our Historian, Michael Tad Parks+, will talk about how we review and work with member’s Lineage Applications, and in particular, sort out when things just don’t seem to add up. He will share a case when things didn’t make sense, and how he discovered the true line of descent.

DNA Project Administrator, Ken Parks, will also talk about the value of the Parke Society’s large database to the DNA project and its vital role in assigning participants to the correct lineage and how the database is extremely useful when looking at participants’ autosomal (Family Finder) Park/e/s matches.

Last month’s discussion focussed on ways to increase participation by our members in the “back office” functions of the Society, and several good suggestions came out of that brainstorming session. Then our annual Parke Society meetings took place at the end of September, and this month’s Town Hall meeting will feature some of the ideas and action items that came out of all of these meetings. Please join us to learn about what’s planned for the coming months, and bring along any more ideas, thoughts, or comments you might have. Your input is welcomed and valuable to us!
