This is a collateral line for me -- Emmett Akerman's wife was Telitha Rosetta Holman. Her parents (Uretha Alice Jane Hill and Philip Holman) were my gr-gr-grandparents. Emmett (b. 9 Jan 1869) is the son of James Akerman (b. 3 March 1847) who is the son of William Akerman (1810 - 1878). I've seen several mentions of a "family history" -- I'm interested to find out if someone still has a copy of the document, if it was ever published and available at a local history center, or if someone has a copy that can tell me if it has the names of William (sr)'s parents, and possibly where the family originated (before Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania).
