Hello - Just seeing this post! My great grandfather was James Alpheus Hamon - BD 1849. He came from the Channel Islands and immigrated to San Francisco, California in the mid 1800s. I've been at a brick wall with him for over 5 years. I have DNA matches (through Ancestry) on Jersey and Guernsey Islands. I do know through DNA that I have matched with Le Feuvre distant cousins. If anyone on this thread is part of a DNA Ancestry project, please let me know and I can see if we are a match! Thank you, Elizabeth Hamon
