Hello Kathy,
Basically we are related in 2 ways, your great grandmother Mary Porter was the sister of my great grandmother Catherine Porter. And Mary's husband William Akers was the nephew of my 2nd great grandmother Sarah Akers. I have quite a bit of info on the Akers and Porter families if you are interested and I'll gladly enter into my database any info you could add and supply you with a copy.
