During Frieza Saga in _Dragon Ball Z_ , when they wished for everyone killed
by Frieza and his men to be revived, why weren't the other Saiyans, like
Goku's father and mother, be revived from the dead?

Because the wish was for Namek only.

This means of course anyone who was killed, either directly [or
indirectly](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14827/1587) by Frieza and his
army and were not on Namek was not revived.

Should also note that Shenron's power can't surpass his creator and reviving
all of those who have been killed by Frieza universe-wide would no doubt be
beyond Kami's (and later Dende's) power since there are probably untold
millions killed just from being on a planet Frieza blew up.

Super Shenron on the other hand can grant a wish without limitation, so would
be the better choice for such a wish (Beerus has claimed Super Shenron could
destroy an entire universe if wished to, quite sure reviving a whole bunch of
people like that is dwarfed to the opposite of destroying a universe)
