Hi Do any of you Akers researchers have a connection with the surname YORK? Ginny RVWeld IBSSG researching ANDERSON,in Mo. Tn. and Va.JAMES in Mo. OLIVER in Madison co. and Carroll co.Ark and Tyrrell co. NC.AKERS in Ky.NEWTON in Ark.

Hi Earl I was raised in NE KY and I am related to some AKERS that lived in this area. I tried to connect to the names you gave but was not able to do this. I was raised with EDWARD GAIL AKERS and we were separated during WWII. Gail lived and died in the NW USA He had three sons named JEFFERY CABOT AKERS, RICHARD HOWARD AKERS and BRIAN ANTHONY AKERS. I at one time located RICHARD HOWARD AKERS but lost him. Does any of this mean any thing to you??
