I'm reposting an Email I sent to a few folks yesterday about restarting Joe Neville's society. Ren has pointed out, rightly, that there are far too many Neville lines out there to make the original name appropriate. I suggested maybe calling it "The Neville History Society" instead. I like "history" rather than "genealogy" because it implies a broader perspective.
