Hello Kim, I'm Anthony, i live in Lebanon,Marjeyoun ( A.K.A where your branch of the family came from), I Knew it directly when u mentioned that Col. James is your uncle, & the family names Fardisi, Samarah & Jebara. I was doing a research for MHPP (Marjeyoun Heritage Preservation Program)it's a facebook page currently, but we have already gathered quite a lot of stories, & pictures. & ofcourse your uncle has his own album + a story or 2 about him, & we are currently working on a suprise for our world-wide Marjeyounee fans (related to your uncle). So we could really need your help, supplying us with videos, photoes, documents, stories... about your uncle or about your whole family. Check it out on facebook, I'm sure you'll like it. We can help you a lot in your ancestry, & we would be really grateful for your help. :D:D
