Re: Trace surname
In Response To: Re: Trace surname ()

that is an old link - please try www.manxnotebook.com/ ... as I'm not sure my old university will continue to redirect. The information however has not changed - the only Manx families I know with Arms are the Christians (obtained via their English landholdings) and the Quayles who bought them in the 19th C. Others with English roots may have Arms but for most it is not clear that they decend to those who claim them. Many of those selling 'coats of arms' are selling either make-believe or those of a similar sounding (often Irish) family.
