    1. Re: Decker name
    2. Jaymie, Admiral Benton Weaver Decker has a copywrite on his book "The Decker Genealogy". It cannot legally be copied in any manner. There were inly 500 copies printed and to my understanding, he gave rather than sold, them to different Genealogical Societies and Libraries. None were sold through a book store or publishing company. There are some errors just as in all books but in most instances the Admiral has given sources for marriages and baptisms through church records that can very easily be double checked. After the book was put out and people began to contact the Admiral regarding their lines, Mr. Decker then put out "The Decker Quarterly". These were additions and corrections to the book. I have the first two, Oct 1980 and Jan 1981. I don't know how many more he did before his death. I'd be happy to do a look-up.

I don't remember the exact name they called it but it seemed to have several pages. Does anyone know of such a book and how it would be possible to get a copy? >>
