Posted on: Pulaski Co MO Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Pulaski/10752 Surname: MANES, CARROLL, DECKER, GREEN ------------------------- While looking for information about the Manes family of Pulaski county, I ran across a copy of a letter written by a granddaughter of Sven Bengtsson(?sp) telling about some of her earliest memories in the early 1900's in Swedeborg. Her grandparents were married in 1885 and lived on two farms near Swedeborg. The copy is little difficult to decipher, but I would be glad to do my best and send you what I come up with if you're interested.

Melinda, Could you tell me about your DECKER line? Did they live in Pulaski or Phelps Counties?

Donna, Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I don't know much about my Decker line. The lived in Pulaski County. My great grandmother was Malinda Jane Decker b. 11/20/1872 in Laclede County, Mo., she died July 16, 1962 in Swedeborg, Pulaski County, Missouri, where she had lived at least since her marriage in 1891 to William B. Carroll. I'm not sure if her parents also lived in Pulaski County. I haven't been able to do much research into the Deckers yet, so if you have any information to share I would appreciate it.
