Mary, My charts differ from yours. I have the parents of Gerrit Janse Decker bap 26-Feb-1662, Kingston, Ulster, NY as Jan Boerson Dekker and his first wife, Heltjie Jacobse [He m. 2. her sister, Willemtie, 24-Dec-1679, Kingston. The parents of Heltie Decker, bap. 10-Jan-1686 and m. Hendrick Schoonmaker were Margriet [Grietje] Janse Dekker and Gerit Janse Decker [K.M. #75] The parents of Margriet were Jan Boerson Dekker and Heltjie Jacobse. Gerrit's parents were Jan Gerretson Decker and Grietjen Hendricks Westercamp. That makes you a descendent of both Jan Broerse Dekker and Jan Geritse Decker who probably were the ancestors of most of the Deckers of the Hudson and Delaware River Valley. I am collecting a list of Decker descendants who may be interested in a Decker family assoc. If you are interested in receiving further info when it is available, send your PO address and e-mail address to me. The plans ae going slowly at this time. My only role is to contact people who may be interested. For more info see NY Dutch Genealogy, Robert Mominee's page at http://geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/2697.
