Hi...

I have been searching for a familial link with Jesse James as it has been just "common knowledge" in my paternal family that we are Jesse's relatives. My grandmother's maiden name was "Zerelda Rains", so "RAINS" would be the name-link I believe. It is funny - bear both Jesse's mother's and wife's name - Zerelda - as my middle name. It was actually passed down through several females in our family - me, my grandmother, her mother...and supposedly further back - so it was always a "family" name - but I have never gotten any geneological info to back this connection up though and I am curious. If anyone could tell me anything on the "Rains-James" link please let me know!!!! You can email me at monicaalana@hotmail.com
