Glenn I will send you the money for both books Jodie Gee ---------- > From: Glenn Gohr <ggohr01@mail.orion.org> > To: NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: 360-Year History, etc. > Date: Thursday, July 24, 1997 4:41 AM > > I have had 30 copies made of Joe Neville's first book--A 360-YEAR HISTORY > OF ONE NEVILLE FAMILY (1612-1972) which was privately published by him in > 1974. At that time he produced 42 copies. > > Later, when I became interested in the family and supplied him with some > very valuable info., he gave me a complimentary copy of his first book. > > This book did not have a cover page. I designed one to look virtually the > same as what he put on his later 370-YEAR HISTORY. The 360-Year History > was put into a 3-hole binder. I have instead put these copies into a > spiral bound, just like the other book that he did later. > > The 360-Year History was done after Joe had done several years of research > on his own, visiting places in Fauquier, Prince William & other places in > Virginia. But it was published prior to the Society of John Neville > Descendants Newsletters being printed.
