James Real was a wonderful member of our WikiTree community who has passed away. James Real made many contributions and will be missed.
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.

Hi James - my husband, Bobby Greenwood (former PGA Tour player), is a descendant of Daniel Simrell and Rachel Hunter-Simrell. We would like to know more about his Simrell lines. Please check his website at www.GreenwoodPGA.net. Thank you for all you do.
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.

James, making more than one thousand contributions in September added so much to the breadth and depth of our Shared Tree. The Appreciation Team thanks YOU!
Very well done on your making 1,000 or more contributions to WikiTree in June 2019! We commend and appreciate all of your time and effort in helping to grow and perfect our Shared Tree. Keep up the great work!
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!
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!
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.
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.
