Send me your names and I will look and see what I may have. >> Angie, I am going to jump right in the middle of this conversation, as I have Akin's too. My Akin's were located in Duchess County, NY. There is a Akin library there, but after writing numerous letters, and no responses, I have given up on them. My Akin's married into my Howard family, and were around Quaker Hill, Duchess County, NY.
