This may have already been posted before, but for those of you who believe your family may have originated in New England and then moved out into the US, there is a James Family Association being formed in New Hampshire, and genealogists are working on all the James family descendants. These James came from England in the 1600's, settled in New Hampshire in the very early 1700's and moved out from there.. The genealogist contact for this is Ann Morton. Her contact info is: Ann T. Morton 314 High St Hampton, NH 03842 603 926-0112 E-mail: [email protected] I don't think she's on rootsweb, and her focus is this particular family, but she's done an enormous amount of work seeking descendants and trying to connect them to present day. If you believe you're connected back to the NE, you may want to contact her.
