Help with connections for Alexander Franklin James?

I'm going to be researching connections for Frank James. As of today, his CC7 is 8,331.

Would anyone want to help me with this? Thank you!  I have had no help from Lilly Martin or Rollie Taylor. I have tried to find how to find help ( I have spent hours!) Please help. Ancestry thruline shows I descend from Frank James, Robert James, and Zerelda Cole. My mother's DNA also shows this (she is in her 90s). So far, all I have been told is Eric James thought everyone wanted to be kin to the James brothers (not so). I hired a person from DNA Detectives to disprove this. She could not because Eric James refused to cooperate. I have this all documented and copied. Her was only interested in James family members that were Black or Native. I have been working with several investigative people that are known for clearing up stories and making TV specials regarding this. I thought Wikipedia might want to cooperate and share the information I have found. I have also spent ten years doing intense research that helps document why and how this happened. I thought I might be able to share with other family members on Wikitree and stop spending money at Ancestry since they are becoming more expensive. Is this site interested in finding out the truth? Or is it more interested in promoting the false narrative of Eric James? (By the way, no one has ever been able to prove anything about him being a legitimate James family member)  Please help if you care about DNA truth.

I am currently working on identifying family connections for known members of Quantrill's men. I am surprised that few connections are made to the James'. I figured they would be closely related to several 'bushwackers' but, not so. I go where my research takes me. If it includes Native Americans or Black, so be it. I do not yield to DNA verification for several reasons. Should I come across unknown connections, I will keep you in mind. At 8,000 plus connections, my guess is most of those associated with the border war are known.
