Pask DNA Project

There are now nine DNA test results available relating to the following family charts:

Chart 02: Descendants of John Pask of Wickhambrook, Suffolk

Chart 03: Descendants of John Pask of Washingborough

Chart 04: Descendants of Isaac Pask of Monmouthshire

Chart 06: Descendants of Peter Pask of Kedington, Suffolk

Chart 10: Descendants of John Pask of Thundersley, Essex

Chart 30: Descendants of James Pask of Bardney, Lincolnshire

Chart 41: Descendants of James Pask of Finsbury, London

Chart 47: Descendants of Robert Pask (Pass) of Frieston, Lincolnshire

A comparison of all the test results is available in the PASK DNA Project section.

Suprisingly only two people have matched - in Chart 03. However, a recent test of a descendant of Peter Pask (Chart 06) has matched with a Pask not currently in the Pask DNA Project. So we are hoping that another match will be listed in the near future.

We encourage male Pask, Paske, Parsk, and Pasque and the derivatives to take the 37-marker Y DNA test. To achieve maximum benefits we encourage 2-3 males from each family tree detailed on the Charts list to participate.

Descendants of George & Annie Pask of Camberwell, London

This information relates to Chart 41 - James PASK, who lived in Finsbury, London c1758.

Earlier this year we were in contact with Michael Pask whose grandparents were Robert John & Phoebe Pask née Coode. This has been one of the most challenging bits of research we have done. With Michael's perservation, I think we have finally resolved the mystery.

Registered names, and names used in the census do not always tie up. In the case of Michael's ancestors George & Annie were found easily in the 1891 and 1901 census. However we drew a complete blank with the 1881-1861 censuses. Similarily with George's birth, death, and marriage registrations.

Michael purchased three certificates relating to children listed in the 1891 & 1901 censuses. Unfortunately none of them had the father's name of George, or mother's name of Annie.

In the 1891 census, Annie was listed as Mary Ann. Fortunately her place of birth was Wantage in both censuses. Persuing this line, we researched all the Annie, or Mary Ann's born in Wantage, and this paid off as we found that Mary Ann Stroud married an Edwin Pask in 1876 in Wandsworth registration district.

Knowing this, we immediately identified Edwin who was already in our database - we last did some preliminary research on this family in December 2003, when online records were very limited. We then did another search of the 1851-71 censuses, and found he was in fact called Edward, and was the son of John & Isabella Pask née Gollan.

I think this is a prime example of how difficult research can be at times, and how rewarding it is when you finally solve the mystery.

This information, together with George & Annie's descendants will be included in the next website update.
