Hi Sue, note Taken, I am pretty sure that a lot of the emails I get are from non members of the Manx fhs. We say on our website and in the journals please quote your membership number when contacting us but many do not. I wholeheartedly agree it is great that more of the fhs are putting their parish records etc online. When people are able to access more information online about the places their forbears came from then many want to visit the area and see for themselves. If they have been able to do more of their research online then they can get out and explore the places they have read about. The Isle of Man is a beautiful and unspoilt little Island.
