My Name is Joe French, and My DNA Y Certificate puts my in Haplogroup G2a and based on some research it appears my Grandfather, James Franklin French is the brother of William L. French.
I have seen some census documents during a trail on ancestry.com that confirms James Franklin French as the son of William M. and Elizabeth (Trobaugh). Interesting find, their next door neighbor (farm) was the Trobaugh's, which I believe to be her parents (not confirmed).
Would you happen to have any documents that state William L. had a brother named James Franklin?
