The "Lovelock Lines" Newsletter



Lovelock Lines was an occasional Newsletter of articles about Lovelock family history and family matters in general. The impetus for the Newsletter came from the Lovelocks Alive '04 gathering at Hungerford in June 2004, with the realisation that a number of people who were unable to attend would nevertheless like to be informed about the gathering and other Lovelock matters. Yann Lovelock volunteered to edit the First Edition, and went on to produce another ten.
