Hi Notdads, My name is Lynnen Yakes--born Lynn Ann Yakes in san antonio texas 1955. I am seeking info of my heritage as m,y father--Joseph Francis Yakes born 1933--did not live with us and thus I know very little--about the Yakes. I am especially interested in my grandmother--Florence Viola McKee --apparently my grandfather Joseph Francis Yakes Sr. took my dad when he was very young and put Florence in a asylum---I am new to this site--and would appreciate any relavent info you might have and perhaps I do know something to help your search. Thx Lynnen

Through the lineage Yake - Baker - Baker - Hamilton Somewhere at the head of the line so far is Abram Baker and his Wife Ester Yake (My Great Grandparents X6 of X7. Two of their children Mary and Georgelived in Flamborough/Waterdown Ontario Canada. George married Mary Anderson B:03Nov1805 D:29Mar1889. I have a picture of their family and Hotel Establishment in this area. No longer in business but an established history of this region. Story of the rising Sun Hotel attached. Also Years After American independence 1776 Numerous families "Empire Loyalists" loyal to the British Crown. Its a long story. Many moved North including many known as "Pennsilvanian Dutch" and settled in this part of Canada. Then the War of 1812, another fight between American and the British.

Hi Lynnen, This is your sister Barbara. It probably has been 15 years since we have made contact with each other. I do not have an answer to the information on our grandmother. It would be nice to know though. I have not talked to Skip, since my first grandchild was born. That was in January of 2004. Said he had Kidney cancer. I do not know if he is still alive. I also would love to know how you and your family are doing. I look forward to hearing from you. Barbara
