Manx names are distinctive! Here are many common Manx last names, some are unique to our 33-mile long rock!
To find out more about your namesakes consider visiting the imuseum where over one million records are available online. Or, if you are interested in Manx genealogy, the Isle of Man Family History Society (IOMFHS) has many online resources. For guidance on family history research, experts are available at many LDS church Family History Centers across the country.
The North American Manx Association often covers genealogy in its 3/4 times a year Bulletin, another great reason to join!
