HI SID...sorry i can't help you with your side of the tree, but using a general rule of christian names being prodestant and canada usualy having free settlers the odds are in favour of you decending from a branch of the norman nevilles. Most of the irish nevilles come from limerick & are very strong catholics. the names patrick,john,dan,& michael are the most common names and keep re'ocuring each generation which creats a hell of a problem when you try to sort them out I don't know if you have the norman family facts so incase you havn't. NEVILLE~L' Neuville = new places; 150 places in france,including Calvados; but the great Durham family were from neville in Sein-Maritime. Family name of the barons braybrooke. MOTTO; Ne vile velis, Form no mean wish. ARMS; Gules, a saltire argent.(Silver cross on red background CREST, A Bulls head as it is now borne by the Marquess of Abergavenny & as it will be seen on the Garter plate of william Neville, LORD FAUCONBERGE

Hi Bob, From the information you just sent to Sid, I can assume that my Nevilles are from Ireland. We always assumed this because of the names and the religion. My husband's grandmother was Linda Neville, born in Cleveland. Her father was James J. Neville, he also had a brother Michael J. (John) Neville. They were born in Cleveland or Bainbridge, Ohio. James's father was Patrick Neville born in Ireland. Do you know anything about this side of the family?
