My name is Robert Lorance Aikin, and my father's father was A.M. Aikin Jr. of Paris, Texas. I really don't know much of the story before my grandfather, and I would like to make the effort to learn. Thank you for your attention in this matter. All the very best to you and yours, R.L.A. ps- I think my grandfather took a law degree in Virginia (somewhere east of Texas). **************************** Also, anyone who can shed extra light on the history of the name Aikin, Aiken, Akin,... does it derive from the Welsh Adkin?, lit. son or kin of Adam? What were the customs of these people & how far into recorded history does the story go? What are the myths & other oral traditions of the early clan/s prior to the Christian era? Are there any family reunions planned for 1999? --------------F8A8BEE75612EBDD2F3F2006--
