What is the difference between
Harkers' and Harkers's

Joe Harkers owns a car. It is Joe Harkers' car
Jim and
Mary Harker own a house. It is the Harkers' house.
Jake and Maggie Harkers own a dog. It is the Harkers's dog.
Harkers' means it belongs to one Harkers or to more than one Harker.
Haekers's means it belongs to more than one Harkers
The question asks the difference, not which is correct. That is what my answer addresses!

"Harkers' " means that the Harkers own whatever you're talking about.
"Harkers's" is plain wrong. You don't do double Ss in English.

In most cases there is no difference except the additional "s". Both can be correct, but conventionally if a name ends in "s" no s is added after the apostrophe.
