I'm new to this, so maybe I'm missing something. I need to find a valid birth record for him with his parents names, or a census report that lists him as a son, so I can find his parent's names, right? The issue is, I can't figure out which one of the tons of William E Parkers is correct, so I'm stuck. Most of my family has passed, and my grandfather, while alive, is unable to answer my questions clearly anymore. Thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
