Bill, Thank you for touching base's, my JOHN JAMES was born in Laugharne 1806 and your Rachel James was born in Llanfairarbryn 1811, Is their a connection? I have learnt since doing genealogy anything is possible. JOHN JAMES b. abt. 1806 is as far back as I have gone so far. I have your James info in my file, if I find anything on your James I will let you know. Julia, Carlsbad, Ca. GO PADRES
