I've stopped it well short (another 33 pages to go) and left out loads of valuable information, but I'm sure that you'll see the benefits of being a member of the Isle of Man Family History Society.
If you can get to the monthly meetings (3rd Friday evening of each month and see IOMFHS for details) then you can have a good chat amongst the knowledgeable members and if you're lucky, have a chat with Nigel Crowe who's pretty amazing and has his own website
manxroots.info/
(You can pay me later Nigel)
Anyway, I hope I've left a few none members intrigued with whats inside our quarterly booklet and look forward to seeing your name and request inside if you decide to join us.
Slaynt Vie,
Paul
