Given this scenario, CONGRATULATIONS! you are officially stuck where the rest of us are! If you are confident about Frank's connection to Christopher, I am reasonably sure about the rest of the connections. Having said this, there may still be some controversy around the James connections. The trick will be to fill in several dates and places and confirm as much as possibly with existing records. There is likely stuff out there nobody has found yet. Of course, you have an obligation to the rest of us to share if you find stuff! :) As for Loie, there are many lovely items of lore about him, and if you look into a couple of books out there, you will see them outlined. The crux of the problem is tying him to Europe. That's a whole 'nother chapter. Happy hunting!
