    1. 360-Year History, etc.
    2. Glenn Gohr
    3. 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. From those newsletters cames much good information, which Joe included in his 2nd volume which is more complete in many respects. The best source to get is the 370-Year History (already posted on this list), but you may also want to get the 360-Year History as it contains some things not in the second volume. Table of Contents: Preface: One Neville line in England; purpose of this project; special thanks; Neville chronology; list of abbreviations. (4 p.) Errata sheet (2 p.)--info. received after his first printing of the book. Part I: A List of Family Members (Outline of the lineages given) (13 p.) Part II: Biographical sketches; pictures, etc. (43 p.) Thus with the title page, there are a total of 63 pages in the book. I've made it spiral bound. The cost with postage = $4.00. This book includes a chronology not found in the later book. Some of the narrative in the preface has info. not found in the later book. The outline of family members makes it much easier to locate an individual in this book than in the second book. Many of the footnotes contain info. not found in the second volume. Thus, I recommend also getting his first book--even if you have the 370-Year History. But if you can only afford one book, then get the most updated one, the 370-Year History which has 175 pages in it for a total cost of $10.00. Here's a recap: 370-Year History (already reported on earlier) = 175 p.; cost is $10.00. 360-Year History = 63 p.; cost is $4.00 postage paid. Order from: Glenn Gohr 1040 E.
