Abstract: Rizzo showed that the family of elliptic curves $mathcalW(t):y^2=x^3+t{x}^2-(t+3)x+1$, a well-known example of Washington, has root number $W(mathcalW(t))=-1$ for all $tinmathbbZ$. In this paper we generalize this example and identify the families of small degree on which this phenomenon happens. Motivated by results from David, Bettin and Delaunay (arXiv:1612.03095) and Desjardins (arXiv:1810.12787), we study in detail the two families $mathcal{F}_s(t):y^2=x^3+3t{x}^2+3sx+st$ and $mathcal{L}_{w,s,v}(t):w{y}^2=x^3+3(t^2+v)x^2+3sx+s(t^2+v)$ and describe necessary and sufficient conditions for which subfamilies of $mathcal{F}_s(t)$ have constant root number on integer fibres. We further prove similar but partial results on $mathcal{L}_{w,s,v}(t)$. Our results give examples of subfamilies for which there is rank elevation at integer fibres.
