    3. Regarding the book by Olin V. Mapes on Westmoreland nee Neville, I have the first ed. The 2nd ed. is only slightly revised & I was disappointed that I received the first ed. from Heritage Books when the 2nd ed. was already available. Probably the 3rd ed. & in CD-Rom is also only slightly revised. The book does include a lot descendants of this family in family group type format; however, most of the sources are not listed. It is an interesting study, but it is not documented very well. I assume that most people know that General William Westmoreland is a descendant of this family that changed its name from Neville to Westmoreland upon immigration to the U.S., taking the title name of their holdings back in England, rather than their surname. I believe the 2nd ed. in book form is still available from Heritage Books also, if you are not familiar with this lineage and still want to get it.

Date: Saturday, March 13, 1999 10:02 AM Dear Glenn and List, I recently ran across a Neville-Westmoreland Family CD-ROM at Heritage Books (www.heritagebooks.com) part of the ad read: "The family under study lived in the northern part of England near the Scottish border. The story begins with Ernisius Neville, born in 1090, and tracks the family to the present, through Thomas Neville and his son James, who changed the name to Westmoreland when he sailed to America in 1652." Westmoreland ne Neville, 3rd Revision, by Olin V. Maupes Anyone have any knowledge or information on this CD in particular? ==== NEVILLE Mailing List ==== Have you tried GenConnect? http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/index.html
