My great great grandfather

My great great grandfather, Henry Deckert, immigrated to the U.S. from Germany. He settled in New York.

Henry's son William, a mail carrier, married in New York, and moved to New Jersey to raise a family.

My grandfather, Arthur Deckert, was born in Jersey City in 1900. As a young man, he moved to New York, where he married my grandmother, and settled down to raise a family in Brooklyn.

My mom was the oldest of 2 daughters. She and her sister were born in Brooklyn.

Mom graduated from high school circa 1942.
