It's OAKEY, no L, although I'm sure that there were mix-ups when other people wrote the name. Sometimes in older records (pre-18th century) it's seen as OKEY. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.E.Sorensen" <jsorensen4@cfl.rr.com> To: <nyalbany@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 3:27 PM Subject: Re: [NYALBANY] Oakey family > Could that have been Oakley or Okley?
