E-mail from Living JAMES to David James, Aug 2019:
Hello David,
I just got my Y-DNA test results back on Familytreedna and they say we are
cousins and share a common ancestor. I would like to learn how we are related.
Here are my direct paternal ancestors and where they lived. I wonder if you share any of these?
Father Frank Harold James (1900 -1986) Michigan
Grandfather Floyd Royal James (1879 – 1929 Michigan, Ohio
2nd great grandfather Morris A James (1846 – 1916) Michigan
3rd great grandfather Chester Dow James (1822 – 1904) Vermont, Michigan
4th great grandfather Isaac D James (1796 – 1879) Birth place unknown 1st marriage in 1816 in Middlebury, Addison, Vermont, Found in Michigan in 1845.
Possible 5th great grandfather Benjamin James Jr (1772-?) born in Gilmanton, Belknap, New Hampshire
Possible 6th great grandfather Benjamin James (abt 1748 - ?) born in Gilmanton, Belknap, New Hampshire
I live in Novi, Michigan and would really appreciate hearing from you. Are you on Ancestry.com?
