I'm researching my James Family Line in Grandriver Twp., Henry County., Missouri and I need a look up and willing to pay for the look up. I am willing to pay someone $25.00 to go take a few pictures' of my Great Great Great Great Grandfather John {J.} James and his Son Francis J. James Tombstone. Please let me know if you are in this area and would like to do this. This is a limited time only and will end on July 01, 2002. I need you to go to Bethlehem Cemetary {In} Henry County., Missouri and Find John {J.} James and his son Francis J. James that are burried in this cemetary and take a few pictures and look at the dates for me to make sure that I might have the right birth-date for John {J.} James. I've tired to send off for a Death Certificate but, they say they don't have a record of John {J.} James or his Son. I think they do they just don't want to search for it or they tell me that it was burned in the fire back in those days. Here is what I have on my John {J.} James and his Son Francis {J.} James......... John {J.} James Born: September 04-09 {?}, 1810 Place: Poss.
