As many people know, Ian Radcliffe has been having a lot of problems with his Lycos website which he originally started so that transcripts could continue being added to Brian Lawson's databases.

He has now transferred all of these to his backup website: lawsonsiom.freevar.com/
There is a link to the main wills website, where all the new transcripts eventually will appear in the index in italics. This will enable people to check the wills from both websites at the same time.

Ian has a backlog of transcripts because of the Lycos problems over the last few weeks, but please keep sending them to keep Brian's work going for the benefit of all Manx researchers. And many thanks to Ian for fitting in all this work between the demands of his job, and young family.
