Nice to be back with all you folks! As I promised just before the world ended, I've started to put together a list of "founders" of various lines in the New World. What this means, of course, is a list of Nevilles for whom no ancestors have been found. Each name is the "end of the road" for somebody's line. The principle here is that each of us begins to bang our heads against a wall somewhere, and if we can all keep each other in mind by carrying this list around, we might be able to help each other considerably. I'd like to limit the list to men born prior to 1750. I've only got five names compiled so far. But then, I haven't gone through the entire catalogue of List Emails yet. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR NAMES IF YOU HAVE ANY!!! So far: John Neville (ca1612 - 1664) England>St. Mary's, MD>Port Tobacco, MD Jean deNeufville (?-?) France>New York, arriving ca. 1689 Richard Nevitt (Nevill) (?-?) England>MD, arriving 1633 Almost definitely not a Nevill Joshua Neville England>Charleston, SC, arrived at the end of the Revolution Walter Neville In Maryland in the late 1600s

John and Margaret NEVILLE had: Bridget NEVILLE (d.10 Sep 1748) married Capt Charles James GEE (b.1696) of Surry Co VA I am seeking information on this family. Thank you Jodie Gee

I believe Peter Neville was the one who originally sent me this message. Thought everyone on the list would want to know what happened to the MAISER lists and why we have transferred over to Rootsweb.--Glenn For your interest, here is the article about the Maiser shutdown that appeared in the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION newspaper on Wednesday, May 14th: E-mail mishap halts genealogy service Researchers, buffs lose a valuable tool by Art Kramer STAFF WRITER A Dunwoody retailer said he unwittingly started a chain of junk e-mail that undermined one of the most popular exchanges of genealogy information on the Intenet. The shutdown is depriving tens of thousands of genealogy buffs of their most effective online research tool, said John Rigdon, national coordinator of The USGenWeb Project, a genealogy clearinghouse on the World Wide Web. The exchange, called Maiser, is a collection of mailing lists for those trading research about their ancestors. Many genealogy buffs subscribe to several lists, keyed to cities, towns, regions or family surnames. It's not unusual for a genealogy hobbyist to sift through several hundred list-sent messages daily, in search of a clue that points to a distant ancestor. Maiser, the largest collection of detailed lists with 40,000 subscribers, was forced off the Net last week after being used as a fake return address to hide the identity of a junk e-mailer. The disaster began when Sam Khuri, general manager of Benchmart Print Supply, sent a $100 money order to the post office box of a company that promised to advertise his service to 50,000 potential customers. "If I knew what they were going to do, I never would have sent the money," said Khuri, whose company recycles toner cartridges for copiers. The contractor, whose identity Khuri said he lost in a computer crash of his own, e-mailed thousands of ads touting Khuri's service last week. The junk e-mail was routed through Indiana University computers, making it appear the ads had come from the same computers that are home to the genealogy lists. The tactic of forging return addresses, making an uninvolved third party appear to be the sender of junk e-mail, is a common one. Such practices prompted several online services, including CompuServe and Prodigy, to get federal courts to help them bar junk e-mailers from their services. Larry Stephens, an Indiana University official who organized the groups as a hobby over the past three years, was forced to shut them down Friday rather than let them appear to be the source of the junk e-mail. Stephens said he couldn't risk furthering the perception that the junk e-mail was somehow connected to the university. "The loss of these mailing lists is devastating," Rigdon said. "We've lost approximately one-third of our backbone for genealogy research. About 20,000 daily users of the Internet have been effectively left with no communication." Stephens may reopen some of the regional lists this week if he can find software that can't be commandeered by junk e- mailers, but with the added security burden, he said it's unlikely he will revive the surname lists. Robert Turner, 52, a postal clerk in Huntsville, Ala., and a descendant of traveling blacksmith David Turner, bemoaned the demise of the surname lists. Turner and his wife, Winona Turner, added 4,000 ancestors to their family tree in the 30 years before they computerized their search, but 20,000 more in just 16 months online. Without the surname lists, said Turner, looking for his ancestors "will be akin to driving down a dark country road with no headlights."

Here is the WELCOME that was sent earlier.

Transfer this note to a special SAVE file or better yet, print it out and put it in a safe place, because it contains the information you will need for subscribing to the list, unsubscribing from the list, for changing the manner in which you receive mail, for correcting any error conditions, and for posting messages to the NEVILLE discussion list. If you have received this Welcome message, then you are subscribed to the discussion list. It may take a couple of days before you begin to receive mail. Some of the lists are slow, so give your mail at least a couple of days to begin. If you do not start to receive your NEVILLE mail within a week, then try sending a message to the list and see if you receive a copy. If you still are concerned that you are not receiving mail properly, please contact me at: ggohr01@mail.orion.org and together we will find the solution. You are currently subscribed in "mail mode," which means that you will receive every posting made to NEVILLE as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to NEVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. For future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to NEVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com. 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to NEVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to NEVILLE-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. To post a genealogical or historical message, question, or notice to the entire list, please send it to: NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com We ask that you give some thought to a meaningful subject line so that other subscribers may tell at a glance if the message is of interest to them. One suggestion is to include dates and geographical references. For example: NEVILLE, Joseph b. ca 1707 VA Then list your message in the body of the E-mail. (It is also polite to sign your name and include your E-mail or other address at the close of your message as some computer hookups do not include the sender's name and address in the header.) It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A FEW OTHER COMMENTS If replying to someone on the list, remember that the system is set by default to automatically address all replies to everyone on the list. If you have a personal message for someone, please send it to their address, not the list server address. Any mail sent to NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com will automatically be sent to everyone on the list. Do NOT, under any circumstances, append attachments to any E-mail addressed to the NEVILLE List. ALWAYS ask the intended recipient by prior personal E-mail if they are able to accept an attachment because many mail readers cannot handle attachments. You can even cause some systems to crash simply by sending attachments. Rootsweb also requests that you not list surnames along with your signature line as their computer indexes EVERY word that appears in an E-mail message. As the moderator of this list, I intend to send announcements from time to time, along with other messages and queries of interest to the group. I also will reserve the right to step in if a flame war, personal attack, or other abuse should occur on the NEVILLE Family Genealogy List. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* IN CONCLUSION: Remember three addresses: 1) IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT ME. My address is ggohr01@mail.orion.org 2) To post a message to this list (so it goes to all other subscribers) send it to NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com 3) To send one of the commands concerning your subscription, send the message (either <subscribe> or <unsubscribe> to NEVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com ============================= Happy hunting.

Now I'm heading to St. Louis for the rest of the Memorial Day weekend. As you may already know, all of the MAISER discussion lists have been shut down for almost 3 weeks now. Due to a scammer sending thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of messages through to the MAISER main server at Indiana University, they had to shut down their whole system.

Hi group! got a smalll problem going. I show Elizabeth Neville (dau. of John Neville b:1661 x Elizabeth Bohannan) as being married to Joseph Buchanan and having six children. There is another source showing Elizabeth married to on Francis Hampton and having six children. Is this the same Elizabeth, did she marry twice and have 12 children, was she married only once and who is her husband.....cya......Ren Neville

Neville researchers: I am trying to locate a marriage record for Granderson [Granvi] D. Neville who married L. Rebecca Walker in about 1867, place unknown. Has any one come across a marriage record for this couple. They probably married in Arkansas, Texas, or Missouri. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Kathy Duncan ppskdd2@airmail.net

Nevilles: We are home again!! Does any one out there know anything about a Martha E. Nevels who was living in Tishmingo Co., Mississippi in 1850? She is 34 and living with her are children Anderson D., William D., and Susan P, who are all under ten years old. She is living in between William Pate and Priscilla Pate, but does not seem to be related to them. Who was Martha's Neville husband? What was her maiden name? Most important: what became of her children? Kathy Duncan ppskdd@airmail.net

It's so good to see this list up again. I'm new to this list, and I was just about to stop lurking and join in when it went down. Does anyone know anything about Joshua NEVILLE, who--according to my information, which is unconfirmed--came from England at the close of the Revolution and settled in Charleston SC? He was supposedly in line of the Earls of Warwick, and was disinherited for being a Quaker. He became a cabinet-maker. He married twice to SC women. Children: by first wife: 1. Henry 2. Kitty m. GOLDSMITH 3. ? by second wife, Esther: 4. Harriet (died age 2 or 3) 5. Clement (died young a man) 6. Mary 7. Thomas 8. Martha (1807-1873) m. Patrick MADDUX This is all I know and I have know idea whether its correct. Does anyone recognise any of this or have any other details or even clues? Thanks.
