Hello, fellow genealogists:
I'm a "newbie", just trying to help my father, who is the Ackerman family historian in America. Our earliest known ancestor in America was Peter Akerman (aka Peter Ackerman), born in Portsmouth, Feb. 2, 1747/48. Problem is, we don't know if that's Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA, or Portsmouth, England. We have not been able to find a birth record in either location. Peter was an ordinary farmer in the area of Rye, New Hampshire, who died in 1832 and was buried in Devon, New Hamphire. We know his antecedents were British, and we would love to find them.
If you are named Ackerman or Akerman, or have any knowledge of families by those names, I'd be grateful to hear from you.
Thanks very much and cheers!
