Dear Sherry and Lowell, Perhaps I can be of some help to you in your research of the Parks/Gee connection. (I know nothing about the name Hawley) I am the only natural grandaughter of Roy Austin Parks (he had step-children and step-grandchildren) who was born July 30, 1894 in Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa (he was one of four children) On October 6, 1912, he married my grandmother, Alice Blanche Smith (I wont go into her stats at this point) and on January 7, 1933, they were divorced. Roy and Alice had only one child, my mother, Sylvia Millicent Parks, born June 13, 1915 in Lewiston, Nez Perce County, Idaho. My mother married my father, Eugene Edward Fulmer, 1n 1931 in Lewiston. Eugene, or Bud, as he was always called, and Sylvia had two children: Robert Eugene Fulmer, born March 30, 1933 in Pomeroy, Washington and myself, Barbara Lynette Fulmer, born April 23, 1935. Roy remarried Ethel Helen Roberts (her married name from a previous marriage - I don't know her maiden name) and they lived in Seattle until their respective deaths. My brother, Robert (Bob) married Eileen Marie Larson and they had two children: Robert Chris Fulmer and Polly Mistina Fulmer, born May 26, 1961 in Kent, King County, Washington. Mistina (doesn't use the name Polly) married Kenneth Dale Parker on June 16, 1978 in Grants Pass, Benton County, Oregon. They had two children: Randy Parker (to my knowledge, Randy doesn't have a middle name) born January 19, 1980 and Daniel Keith Parker born December 13, 1981; both born in Grants Pass. Randy married Irene Kristin Gee on August 7, 2002 in Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon. Kristin's parents are Daniel Gee and Denise (don't have her maiden name) Gee. I hope that this information is useful to you. As yet, I haven't created a Family Web Page but hope to do so soon. Email me if I can be of further help.
