Trey Parker is an American actor, animator, writer, producer, director, and composer. He is a co-creator and spearheader of the series South Park, and has also starred in and produced the films Orgazmo and Team America: World Police, all along with his career partner Matt Stone.
Trey is the son of Sharon and Randolph “Randy” Parker, a geologist. His parents have the same names as Stan Marsh’s parents on South Park, and his father the same occupation. Stan Marsh was also the name of his step-grandfather. Trey has a daughter with his former wife Boogie Tillmon.
Trey’s paternal grandfather was Maurice Mabie Parker (the son of Randolph Severn Parker and Caroline/Carolyn Ruth Mabie). Maurice was born in Kansas. Trey’s great-grandfather Randolph was born in Illinois, the son of Sebastian Cabot Parker and Josephine K. “Josie” Thorsen, who was of Norwegian parentage. Caroline was born in Kansas, the daughter of Lot Dalbert Mabie and Bessie McClure.
Trey’s paternal grandmother was Elizabeth “Betty” Pinkerton (the daughter of Frederick Pinkerton and Mildred Colthar). Elizabeth was born in Nebraska. Frederick was born in Kansas, the son of George Robert Pinkerton and Almarie Downing. Mildred was born in Nebraska, the daughter of Orlando Sherman Colthar and Hannah Butler.
Trey’s maternal grandfather was Marvin Lee Kimble (the son of Robert Fredmond Kimble and Maude Goheen). Marvin was born in Colorado. Robert was born in Kansas, the son of George Kimble and Hanna Pine Garrigues. Maude was born in Kansas, the daughter of James Gardner Goheen and Mary Monigal.
Trey’s maternal grandmother was Florence Vivian Ryland (the daughter of Byrd Worthington Ryland and Jessie Cleonia Davis). Florence was born in Kansas. Bryd was born in Kansas, the son of James Arthur Ryland and Louise Caroline Hall. Jessie was born in Kansas, the daughter of Joseph Clinton Davis and Ellen Stevens.
Trey is a tenth cousin, once removed, of Matt Stone, through Trey’s maternal, and Matt’s paternal, ancestors Richard Kimball (1595-1675) and Ursula Scott (1597-1660). Such a relationship is common between two people with Colonial American ancestry.

So that means the page should go something like this:
“Trey’s paternal grandmother was Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Pinkerton (the daughter of Frederick Pinkerton and Mildred Colthar). Elizabeth was born in Nebraska. Frederick was born in Kansas, the son of George Robert Pinkerton and Almarie Downing. Mildred was born in Nebraska, the daughter of Orlando Sherman Colthar and Hannah Butler.
Also, does anyone have any information on Trey’s maternal grandparents?
Elizabeth had some Irish and distant Welsh ancestry:

the only information i found of Trey’s maternal grandparents was that his maternal grandfather was named Marvin L Kimble
https://www.hcgsks.org/harcodatabase/showmedia.php?mediaID=54569&tngpage=5137 (this obituary is from Trey’s step-grandmother and mentions his mother and his grandfather)
I figured it out. Trey’s maternal grandparents were Marvin Lee Kimble (1911-1989) and Florence Vivian Ryland (1909-1979).
Here is his maternal grandfather’s page on familysearch were his second wife is Nola Roena Davidson:

Thanks for the link, I don’t think I would have found this without you.
So that means the page should be something like this:

Trey’s great-grandfather Robert was born in Kansas, the son of George Kimble and Hanna Pine Garrigues. Maude was born in Kansas, the daughter of James Gardner Goheen and Mary Monigal.

Typo, I meant Byrd Worthington Ryland, my bad.
great, you’re welcome
You guys have the wrong Betty Pinkerton as Trey’s grandmother. Trey’s true paternal grandmother was Elizabeth “Betty” Eleanor Pinkerton (1918-2008). Trey mentioned that the character Stan Marsh is named after his own paternal step-grandfather, and he mentioned on a DVD commentary that his grandmother passed away of breast cancer.

his great-grandfather Lot Dalbert Mabie’s had distant Dutch, French and Breton ancestors, who emigrated to New York in the 1600s. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/LYVP-7ZT
and his paternal grandmother had some Irish and German ancestors
