Any reason you're all looking for a James Treays? And when and where was he supposed to have lived?

So is everyone posting here part of the Treays/Trease/Traies family? What or who is everyone trying to find or trace back, or even forward, to?
I had a look at that link gardenerbob but I'd need to spend some time speaking to my grandma to find out about my grandad's parents and grandparents who some of those people may well be. It's just difficult because she lives in Devon whereas I'm in Scotland.

Hi, my name is Genny Treays and I have come across your blog. I was researching my Uncle John in University - I'm studying town planning which he was a division of in Plymouth, Devon, where some family still live. Obviously this is close to cornwall and all these other towns ending in -comb which I remember from my childhood family visits, which have also been mentioned in your previous blogs.
I can't help but wonder if I might be able to help as Treays is not a very common name and I keep seeing names within your posts that seem to have been recycled through generations in my family: Samuel, Martin, Jane, John.. and through researching the name Treays I have come across what appear to be relatives from the 1800s with my surname, in a place called StGennys... which I can't help but wonder whether there is any connection. I would love to hear back from any of you to see what you think and I can easily help with my family tree going back to before the 1900s where you appear to have arrived from your research dating back to what looks like the 1700s.

Regards, Genny.
