Jerry Decker is descended from early pioneers in Massachusetts and Virginia. Family members are traced back to English Midlands 1449, London 1602, France 1066, and Germany 1580. Also there is ancestry from Finland by way of Denmark and Sweden. Native American ancestry is traced through the Long family of Ohio. Most of the ancestors were farmers with large families and many descendants.

Wife Elaine is descended from dairy farmers and copper miners, fishermen and lumber jacks. Family members are traced back to Finland north coast including inland lakes of river valleys, Hailuoto Island, and near by Sweden Ruskola, Övertornea as far back as the 17th century.

Find A Grave has helped me to connect with a number of distant relatives through the memorial pages. Almost every branch of the family has a living relative who is active in Find A Grave.
