It is always nice to get a great surprise, and that is what I got when I found all your Neville information on the Ancestry.com site. Thank you! I also, got a nice surprise when you e-mailed back so quickly. I would love to send you information. I just am not sure how to do it. I am really new to the whole internet thing and new to the ancestry.com site. I do not understand it at all. Maybe you can help me to undrstand some things first. I do not think that I am interested in being a member of Ancestry.com, as I feel that all those kind of sites end up costing way to much. Did you find this to be true or do you know a great site to join for research purposes. Also, did you have to be a member to put your "family files" on the site. Does it cost you to add to your information. Also, I do not know what a gedcom is. I have not put any information into a computer, so it will take awhile to get this to you. All of our information is from Martha Neville and Henry Hopson's son William who married a (Polly or as I found yesterday maybe his first wife's name was Mary Young) Anyway, we descend from their sixth child Samuel who married Lucinda Stuart and had Seventeen Children. I am a 3Great Grandson of Samuel and Lucinda(who married in 1815) My mom and dad are the two that did all the research for their book "Tracks on the Hopson Trial" that they published in 1999.It is all about the descedants of Samuel and Lucinda and just alittle about the three generations above them. They did this research back in the 1980's while I was in middle and High school, so I went with them. I was the one who would climb the fences to the graveyards and read the tombstones for dates and names. (We did it the old fashion way) and now I am trying to continue their work and correct any misinformation. You seem to have all the Neville information that we have. You are missing alot from William and ?(Polly or Mary Young) Hopson down, and that is where we can help You finish a line. Alot of the males do carry the Neville middle or first name and so do some females. We do not have any family stories that explain why, it just started to honor Martha Maiden name. Also, Please send this to all the Neville List, in hopes that perhaps they have Hopson information. Samuel and LUcinda had 17 children, 2 died at 1year of age, 1 died during the War between the States, at 15? years old, the other 14 lived to marry and have children. We are in contact with 10 of the lines, but have not found 4 of them. I am really trying to find those 4 lines before our next "Reunion of the Descendants of Samuel and Lucinda Hopson" I look forward to staying in contact.
