Joni, I think that I have talked with both you and Arlene about your Geo. Washington Akers and we have concluded that he is not the same as mine, I think....but confirm it for me, please... MY Geo. Washington Akers, son of William/Benjamin Akers and JANE GALEN born: 1838 in FAYETTE CO., PA MARRIED: Mary Larick---thus my line of Akers that ended up in Colorado from Iowa I am glad that you got some lead on yours, it is so hard to find leads..all information may not be correct, but it can take us places we wouldn't have gone otherwise. Sniffing it all out, Diana
