Ian - unfortunately we went to IOM on the 4th so missed your message. However we had a great time and spent a long time in St Runius churchyards, both ancient and modern. We could not decipher the gravestones in the ancient churchyard but found relatives in the modern one. I was particularly pleased to find the grave of my gg grandfather John Callister, he was married to Dinah Cottier and there were many Cottier stones as well. We also visited Foxdale and surrounds and it was marvellous to absorb the atmosphere

I think I have managed to go back to 1718 with the family and would love to hear from you - perhaps we could trade information!

regards
