Thank you for contacting me.
My name is Ester Ruth Parker from Houston, Harris, Texas residing in Oakland, CA. I am quite new to all of this, i.e., DNA and genealogy. I began searching in November 2009. Father is Essie Roosevelt Parker, born 5/5/1903 in Wallis, Austin, Texas and mother is Odessa Silas, born 9/22/1927 in Wallisville, Chambers, Texas. I was reared by my maternal GrandMother, Evalon Smith Silas, born 1/19/1894 in Texas. My father passed when I was 5 months old; and I knew no one from his family; however I recall a cousin visiting me when I was 3 and 4 years old. My relationship with my father's family is through the internet. I have been actively searching the internet for information on my paternal family (Parker/Chadwick/Jones) have gone back 4 generations and with the maternal family (Davis/Smith/Lamar/Polk/Silas/Bremby/Brimber) have gone back 6 generations.
Although I have found census records, death certificates and a New Orleans, Louisiana, Slave Manifests, 1807-1860 on the Parker family back, this info is primarialy on my paternal grandfather, Allen Parker. I have info for Virginia, Texas, Louisiana and Illinois; and on my maternal grandfather, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Texas and North Carolina.

To our continued search for truth and family.
I have learned that my great grandfather's sister's name was Matilda Parker. "Eneppie" was probably her Indian name. They also had another sister, Tenela Parker. Two brothers, two sisters of Joe (Joseph) & Catherine Parker: Robert, Scie, Matilda and Tenela. Anyone having information on either of them, please contact me.
