Listers 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
