Hello Lois, If only it were so! I haven't found the beginning of my earliet Akers ancestor ca 1810. His name was William Akers and I believe he was born in Ohio. You are very fortunate to have found ancestors that early. Happy Hunting, Arlene Hetchler Arizona __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
