His mother was born in California abt 1916. Her parents were Roy Gideon Parker & Emma Curtis Vincent Parker. I've found Census info from 1910 forward, but nothing prior for Roy Gideon. He was born in Arkansas. My brother remembers Roy Gideon's mother's maiden name as Mary Lee Rice. He cannot remember Roy's father's name. I've been reading the Parker posts to the point my eyes are rolling around in my head, so I may have missed something, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. :) My brother is 75 and this is my gift to him to thank him. :))) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
