On Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiva_ha-Kohen) it says his fathers name is Menachem. It says the same thing in encyclopedia judaica (https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transc...) and Jewish virtual library (https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/budapest). What is his fathers name?

In his profile picture and also in his grandfather profile, there is information (in Hebrew), there is no mistake in geni, you checked another person from the Katz family whose father's name was Menachem

The second book in the list of 5/26/2020 states that Rabbi Dr J Simcha Cohen is a 16th generation descendant of R' Yosef HaCohen Katz (she'erit Yosef) who is in turn the 2x ggs of Akiva the Elder. It would be interesting if we could connect R' Simcha with the She'erit Yosef tree.
