Well, well, well. Isn't this interesting. I've been wanting to know whether my James family was related to the Howell James family for a LONG time. Finally, I know. No match! Bill James needs to hunt down some other men who descend from Howell James and make sure they match him. I have a feeling that some people may only think they descend from Howell, but really don't. I have researched Howell James' line enough to know that it is a very, very difficult line.
