My Decker family started out in MI somewhere in McComb Co. where my gg grandfather, Benjamin Decker married and had four children, and his wife died in child birth. He married my gg grandmother in Tuscola Co. and they had eight more children. I am trying to located his parents. I know the family came to MI after 1920. His parents lived in Kinderhook, Columbia Co., NY. His father, Francis Decker (Dekker) was born around 1790 and he married Catherine Welch Decker. Please let me know if any of these names are on your line and if I might visit your site. Francis Decker (Dekker) is listed as the son of Jan Dekker and Elsje Luke. Thanks for your time.
