Various Documents related to Manx EmigrantsVarious Documents related to Manx EmigrantsThe following list of documents (some Manuscript) is based on that published by W. Cubbon in 1939 in the last section of his monumental Bibliography though I have been able to add a little more material. I have rearranged the material under the various country/states and, where possible, included links to an on-line copy (all copies are from the Microfilm in the Manx Museum Library to whom acknowledgments for making the material available are due).
Other articles have appeared in the Isle of Man Family History Society Journal - see index.
I have not yet had chance to review all these reference so I may have mis-indexed some of the biographical articles.
Shelf marks e.g. L.6 indicate the Manx Museum reference; for those from NAMA and/or relating to Cleveland copies can usually be found in both Cleveland Public Library and Western Reserve Library.
