Sue I arrived early & stayed late at the library. Used
your ref. numbers on the application form & CR's boxes
were brought within minutes. The 2 large boxes contain
an amazing assortment of "very rough" notes[her words]
letters from far &wide [inc. FH handwritten replies] , research on every Manx topic possible, mainly Northside but inc.
a folder on the history of the Buchan school and many
trees handwritten sometimes just jotted on scrap paper.
My best envelope was a letter from a Blasket island evacuee { ROI } visited by her Bill long ago+photos.****
NO INDEXES AT ALL ! The2 index card boxes contain other
notes in alphabetical order -just a few words /dates per
card.
Some bits & bobs are labelled with a stickie/ "not me"
and you feature on one note---"eliminated by Sue etc."
I found a fanfold tree by ??? & photocopied 2 pages on
Thomas Kerruish& Margaret Quilleash.
***Forgot to add I visited last year/a St Kilda sort place.

Mary.
