I read your message and am concerned for you and your's.
I am related to an AKE Family line thru Ironton, MO; mid 1800's... PA early 1800's and England before that.
My AKE family is related to the DOTY family of Ironton, MO.
My grandfather Doty married a HUNTOON from IL. Altho they married in San Bernardino Co., CA. We are all still here in CA. Mostly So. CA.
Prayerfully the Riverside, CA people will be a connection for you. Prayers and BLESSINGS! p
But, what I wanted to tell you is there is an AKE Mortuary in Riverside, CA... I have never contacted them but, maybe you will fins a connection.
