3. One of the advantages of Jewish Data listings is that various record types display together in results. Here is an example: If we are looking for information on Alfred Decker, we find a tombstone with little information. It only states Alfred Decker 1871-1948. However, right below it, there is a listing for the same name from Who's Who in American Jewry, 1926. From here we gain much more information: First it tells us his birthday November 2, 1871 in Kirchheimboanden, Pfalz, Germany. His parents Were Abraham and Johanna. Back to the Decker listings, we see the tombstone for his parents which tells Abraham Decker was born December 8, 1826 in Gauesheim in der Rheinpfalz and died in Chicago on February 18, 1899, and Johanna's maiden name was Rueb, and she was born October 8, 1829 in Gau-Odernhan in Rheinhessen. She died on January 29, 1899.

The book listing continues to detail his education, names of companies he founded, and charities he supported.
