Film Notes Note - Location [Film] No film notes for this title. I have never tried to get a book from the FHL but understand that it is possible. I have researched the microfiche of Admiral Benton Weaver Decker. It is an extensive work consisting of some 348 pages of many branches of these families originating in the Dutch colonies of the New Netherlands. Many say that it is error ridden but, although I have found discrepancies in some of the lineages, it has been of great help.
