Hi Claudia, you would be made most welcome if you visited the Isle of Man, but don't think you can see it all in a day or two as some try to do! I am not from your direct line either, probably more closely related to Sues line.

As to our origins, a history of the Stanley family suggests our ancestor came over from Lancashire (England) some 500 years ago and had connections with the Stanleys and Rushen Abbey. We have been spreading across the globe ever since.
