Tammy,

When you clicked the "Connection Verification Help" button, you didn't read the instructions that said "For genealogy research questions. Be very specific about the information you are seeking, with NAMES, DATES, and PLACES.", and you didn't read the question you are posting where it says "[enter details or keep this link https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vance-3983#Research_Notes if you've written Research Notes]." as you didn't enter any details or write a research note.

If you want help with you connection to this Vance family, you need to ask a specific question.

The "Relationship Finder" (accessible from his profile with "Relationship to Me", under Profile) shows that you and James Lee Vance are fourth cousins one removed:

Through both shared ancestors David and Nancy Vires and Samuel and Rebecca Tolby. You can look at the individual profiles along those pedigrees to examine them further or verify them. If you have a specific question about one of those ancestors or their relationships you can ask a new question.
