    2. Parks/Williams/Morrey/Phiffer (sp?)/Bean My Parks' family was born in Wisconsin and most of them apparently stayed in Wisconsin or nearby (sometimes Illinois?). Family information says that we are of English and Welsh backgrounds, with possibly some French and American Indian in our family. I have been working on the other side of my family the last couple of months (for a family reunion) so have not worked on this line lately. I will be getting back to it soon. I had some success with other family names through the internet, so I know this process works! My Father: Alfred William PARKS Jr. born: Delavan, WI: August 20, 1919; died Nov. 18, 1994 in Florida. He was in World War II in Africa and Italy. Married 6 times - my mother (Julia Eastman) was his second wife. I am Nancy; I have one brother, Steve, and one sister, Carol.
