“Parson” does not match any commonly known Jain family gotra name. In Jain society, gotra means the ancestral clan used mainly for marriage exogamy, and it is community‑specific (for example: Oswal, Porwal, Parwar, etc.). Many lists of Jain gotras exist within each community, and the surname’s English spelling can differ from the traditional gotra name.

What you can do next:

• Share the exact traditional spelling of the family name (e.g., Parekh/Parakh vs. “Parson”) and the Jain community (Oswal, Porwal, Parwar, etc.). With that, the correct gotra can be identified from standard community records.
• For a quick overview of how Oswal gotras work, see this short explainer:
• For background on the “84 gotra” tradition often mentioned among Śvetāmbara lay communities, see:

Once the exact community and spelling are known, I can provide the precise Jain gotra information in line with traditional records.
