STRAIN

STRAIN
The following is a descendant report for James Harvey STRAIN running for three generations (his great-grandchildren). I do have information on following generations, but I won't include that online due to privacy concerns. I've dropped the pretty box chart version since it was slow loading ... so here's a quicker text version.

I wish to thank Connie Alexander, Jerry Cowley, and Will Graham for their great contributions of information to this page.

If there is a hyperlink following a name, just click it and a new window will open with whatever that link says it is (i.e. an "Obit" link will open an obituary)
