Dear Pam Allen:

My name is Robert Edwin Gelling and I live on Long Island in New York. I have been interested in my Manx Heritage for a long time, but have only recently began scratching the surface of a roots search. It's overwhelming how much genealogical information is available related to the IOM.

I was just hyper-scanning the bulletin board posts and spotted my surname and thought I would just write you a message. My father Robert Bruce Gelling has family information that I must have him dig out. I will do some preliminary research so I can more effectively communicate to others what Gelling lineage I am...ie. which descendent settled in the New York area.

Any information you can pass along would be accepted with great interest!

Rob Gelling
