Amen, Sonia-- I subscribed so I could read other Akers input, post mine, perhaps somebody. I did no subscribe to read all the bickering over each others perfect research. Please stay on the subject name. I do not even recognize the names they are debating over. Just be as diligent as possible in your research. Facts, not fiction, is the name of the genealogy game. And especially on the Akers records I've seen on films, in books, etc., we need to double check before we assume they are correct. Original records is the only way to do this.
