Hello. My name is Sue Knudsen living in Seattle but have an N B Rains (es) who was in Mississippi from 1865 forward. Not knowing whether or not he was in the war as was your James A. Raines. Have you ever emailed the Raines researchers group? They have alot of info and your James (Bert) Raines may be there. Was your James related to William Newton Rains? Please let me hear from you. Thank, Sue K
