Dear Jennifer,

Your great grandmother was the sister of my great grandfather, James Kendall Nevill. So that makes us first cousins twice removed, I believe. Carrie and James were two of seven children of Zachariah Nevill and Sarah Temperance Townsend. Zachariah also had five children by his first wife, Ann M. Lewis. A good web site for more information is at Ancestry.com:

Your mother's first cousins would be children of Zachariah's siblings. (Click on the link "James L. Nevill" - Zachariah's father - to see the list of names with more infomation about their children, etc.)

Good luck,

Ken Neville
