WOW, I live in California too. Small world, what city? My maiden name is Hastie. Have you ever been to IOM? You have information that I didn't have and I think I had some you didn't have. I saw Mona and Maude but couldn't trace them directly to Thomas Madrell (I thought it had 2 L's but have seen it with several spellings). Did you see the Joan Plessey message about Maude Hastie, sounded like she had allot of information too.
