Brian thank you for you message. I only became interested in genealogy in Feb this year mainly through finding my own birth registered on manxmbd & only joined the iomfhs in May hoping to receive a little help now & again with all my research. I have been extremely pleased with all the kind people on the message board supplying help or snippets of info so I can research further. I have bought the MI Arbory ( if anyone needs that, just let me know) & just bought the 1901 census CD rom for info on all the ancestors on both sides. I'm really enjoying it although about 20 John Kinvigs listed can be very confusing !
