Pam, I haven't been able to get into your website. Is it on www.? ---------- From: "Pamela C. Johnson" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DECKER-L] JAN GERRITSEN DECKER Date: Fri, 09 Oct 1998 10:53:23 -0600 My huysband is a descendant of Simeon Decker. Please visit my site at rmeservy.byu.edu. This is a homepage for GEDCOMS . Then click on Terry Johnson and a pedigree sheet will come up. It sounds to me like there are possibilities here of connections. Can you see any.
