With all the information posted on this list along with the queries it would be good if some of our ancestors were posted as the GenExchange. Something that dosen't look like it would help now could be a great help to others in the future. In their marriage index the database has a memo field wheir you could list their parents or your questions about their parents. If several on the list do this they may find an ancestor in the birth index, listing the parents. The URL for the Genexchange is: http://www.genexchange.com/us.cfm If you have some good stories about your ancestors each State has a space for Bio's, which could be of interest to other Decker Researchers, includeing those on the list. Will try and have my wife write one up on her GGrandfather John L. Decker Born in Kingston, NY 1828. That is as far back as we can get on her family (Decker Side). The Email for my wife Karen Decker Brown is [email protected] Cheers Ray Brown
