I am seeking to contact anyone who is connected to the McCristen/Christian line or who has information on descendents of John McCristen who is listed as the first Deemster on the Isle of Man (1408). My Christian linage is traced back to a Thomas Christian who immigrated to the USA from the Isle of Man about 1650. There are a lot of suppositions as to who his father was but no documented proof. Following is a very sketchy outline of the linage that Thomas Christian most likely is connected to:

John McCristen - Deemster in 1408
? McCristen - could be William McCristen - Deemster in 1419
? McCristen
? McCristen
John McCristen - Deemster in 1498
John McCristen - Deemster in 1511
John McCristen - Deemster in 1527
William McCristen - Deemster in 1535
? McCristen
? McCristen - could be Robert McCristen - Deemster in 1578
? McCristen
Ewan Christian (1579-1656) - Deemster 1598
