Depends on context.

estar preterite- sus padres estuvieron

estar imperfect- sus padres estaban

ser preterite- sus padres fueron

ser imperfect- sus padres eran

"sus padres" takes care of the subject of the sentence. The "were", of course, is more complicated (in Spanish than in English) and making the appropriate choice requires additional context.
