I have traced my AKERS line to Abraham AKERS(b. abt. 1827, Indiana). He lived his adult life in Louisville, KY where he worked as a foreman for the B. F. Avery Co. I have not been able to find any hint of his parents or siblings. The only hint I have to which county of IN he was born in is the mention of Floyd county on the death certificate of one of his children. His descendants have mostly stayed in Louisville to this day. I am descended from him through my ggrandfather Abraham (Abram) Jr. (b. Jan 17, 1860) My grandmother Rose Josephine AKERS LEFFEL (b. Nov 11, 1883)was his daughter. I would love to hear from any other Louisville, KY and/or southern Indiana AKERS researchers. -- Teresa Merz Bean http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tmbean/
