Cannot find details on one family member
I have been enjoying Family Search and all it offers. It has provided a great deal of informaton on my family tree but one member is very difficult to find any information on.
I have gravestone, DOB/ DOD, county and some census confirmation. He is my maternal great grandfather and Family search finds nothing on his ancestry.
Name: James James
DOB: 4-29-1872
DOD: 9-30-1953
Habersham County, GA
Spouse: Mary Gosnell James
Absolutely nothing shows up on Family Search the way it did for all my other ancestors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

I am not sure where you have looked or what type of records you are looking for.
When you sign into FamilySearch you will see the words "Family Tree_ . If you click on Family Tree and then click on the word "tree", you will be taken to a pedigree view, at the top of the page you will see the word "Find", go ahead and click on that. Now put in James James info. This is the record that shows up. This record shows his wife and children. there are several sources attached to this record. I hope this helps.

@rmdial , Using the information that you've provided, I was able to find several records that appear to pertain to your ancestor. See my search results at:
Notice that I used fairly wide date ranges to ensure that I didn't miss records by constraining the dates to an exact year. Also, I did not require the search engine to do an exact search.
I have provided a link to an excellent resource when searching Historical Records; I hope that you will find it helpful.
