Clifford, I checked my Griffith's Valuation CD and found no AKEY. The closest thing I could find was: Index to Griffith's Valuation of Ireland, 1848-1864 Acres, Edward County : Waterford Parish : Dungarvan Location : Town of Dungarvan, Main Street Comment : and Co Regards, Christina On Sat, 06 Sep 2003 07:38:35 -0400, Clifford Smith wrote: I am new to this list and am wondering if any of you have knowledge of any 'Akeys' from Co. Waterford. We have one record of an Akey family (apparently) emmigrating from Waterford in the 1820's. They indicated they were Irish. Any help would be appreciated. My grandmother was an Akey from Ohio,USA Clifford
