The names Ya'akov and Yeshua are rendered as Jacob and Joshua in the Old Testament because it was translated from Hebrew to English... the same names are later rendered as James and Jesus because the New Testament was translated from Greek to Latin to English.
The best evidence that an historical Jesus existed is actually in the New Testament. Paul's letters were written at a time when there were people around that knew the living Jesus. He's arguing with those people that the Jesus they knew only gave them part of the teaching and that only he is privy to the full teaching via Jesus' ghost. Paul is a lying sack of shit, but he could only get away with his manipulation if there were such a person who had been recently crucified.
I don't think James' remains have ever been found. His ossuary was empty when it was discovered.
