Michelle, We are cousins that's for sure. I am the great-great great grandson of Joseph Henry Baker who is a brother to your James Baker. I have lots of Baker information that I will freely share. I would like to see all of your Baker information as well. I use Family Tree Maker and can email you a CD with the Baker information on it. Let me know how you wish to handle this.
