| YAHOO GROUPS IS WHERE WE SHARE FAMILY HISTORY INFORMATION | ||||
| This site is dedicated to the promotion of Genealogical research of the A(c)(k)(e)hurst family name which has spread to the four corners of the World. | ||||
| Although research started many years back, it wasn't until 1993
when a stray Fidonet message originating in the UK found itself in America and opened up a
whole new advent in Genealogical research there were 4 of us then. The internet pushed
these boundaries to a new limit, we are now 160 researchers strong, with more contacts,
friends and relatives being found and research made easier than ever before. If you are an Akehurst or have Akehurst family connections, we invite you to join the world family of Akehursters. |

| The family didn't move far, but there is a distinct migration of the name from Sussex to North Kent or vice versa. The family are not wealthy landowners. They preferred to work the land as farm labourers. This may account for a high percentage of present day descendants having or enjoying some connection with Gardening, The Arts, The Sea, Agriculture and even successful horse racing. | ||||
