Sorry group - had another "senior moment" and gave the wrong URL for the census. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/in/parke/census/1850/ this addy should give you the whole 1850 census for Parke County, Indiana. Besides AKERS I found WEBSTER, VARNER, MILLER, BLAKE surnames that connected to my AKERS family. A real bonanza! Good luck Miss Dee
