Hi Michelle (michellepw@prodigy.net)...placing your email address just in case it doesn't print on the forward. I am forwarding this to the Neville List in that there are those on the list that might or might not descend from this family. Our discussion list has discussed Duncan Bohannon to death and probably most of what I think I know is in my notes on my link. Same goes for Elizabeth Bohannan as those much wiser than myself have not been able to determine if John married an Elizabeth, let along Elizabeth Bohannan. As to Mary Gibbs, it is my impression that her father came from Scotland, but once again, ask ten and you'll get 10 different answers. We also have a Calmes specialist in the group so hopefully our "informed source and reliable Calmes authority" will contact you. It is nice that you have the summer off. If you can prove John Neville x Elizabeth Bohannan and upstream then across the pond to Ireland, France of England and keep the Neville group notified, there will be a special place for you in the Neville family history. A trip to Virginia would be nice but I think you need more time off :) Keep in touch and good hunting....Ren Neville Michelle Peck Williams wrote: > Hi.
