Biography

I am James Wilbur Real, I was born 11 February 1934 in Fresno, Fresno County, California. ! am a son of Theodore Francis Real and Laura Irene Ritzman. [1] [2] [3] I was the second of their six children, Florence being their first. I married Levitta Barbra Bledsaw 19 September 1952 in Fresno, Fresno County, California. [4] We met while in High school. We had four children: Barbra Irene, James Wayne, Samuel Albert and Evelyn Louise. Levitta passed away 03 June 2004 in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California. [5] She was interred in Park View Cemetery, French Camp, San Joaquin County, California. [6]

I have been researching my "Real" and my wife's "Bledsaw/Bledsoe" families for more than forty years. I wrote and self-published a family book "My Consanguinity and Affinity", and I see my name in your listing, probably because of that book.

James, thanks for filling in some of the blanks. My late wife is a descendant of Sarah (Clark) Chasteen and of Brightberry's aunt Mary Susan. I hadn't looked up the sources for these relationships among her cousins, although I had noted them.

I see that you and I are Taylor cousins, and have New England ancestors in common on both of my parents' sides. I recall meeting my ggm Taylor only once. As for French Camp, I must have passed by there 50 times. Tim

James,

I noticed that many, many categories you create for cemeteries are self-referencing. ie. The categories have themselves as a parent. This is a big problem and needs to be corrected by volunteers each time. Please take a look at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Category_Cemetery_Formatting#United_States for more information. Or contact the Categorization project. Thanks!

HI James!

Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!

Hello James,

Please take a look at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Category_Cemetery_Formatting#United_States for help on how to create cemetery categories. The category should not contain a reference to itself, for instance if you create category "Toto Cemetery" you add that to the profile, but there must be no "Category:Toto Cemetery " on the category page itself. This creates errors that Categorizers have to take time fixing.

Thank you for understanding.

Hi

Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
