Genealogical Research on the Isle of Man

Commemorate the national day of the Isle of Man, Tynwald Day, with a talk all about family history research on the island. Discover where the Island is located, how the Island is classified and what does that mean, which leads on to understanding financial and legal elements specific to the island. Learn about population numbers, census records, civil registration, parish records and other key elements in the separation of religion and state. Explore migration and the Isle of Man, separating immigration, emigration, alien status and displacement across the 20th century. Finally, explore other elements of island life that will enable us to research and flesh out the lives of our Manx ancestors.
