During the summer of 1986, a young James "Jamie" Arthur Johnson was inspired to search for his family heritage. He saw the pictures and heard the stories on the television during the centennial of the Statue of Liberty. These were pictures and stories of immigrants, "First Americans," the heritage of the storytellers. Since 1986, Jamie and his mother have done quite a bit of research in family history. Jamie has drawn from many sources to compile this on-line family tree. The sources are listed below.
