Researching Isle of Man Ancestors Julie Goucher

In this presentation we begin with identifying where the Island is located, how the Island is classified and what does that mean, including understanding financial and legal elements.

We then move to explore population numbers, census records, civil registration, parish records and other key elements in the separation of religion and state. We look at the broad topic of migration, separating immigration, emigration, alien status and displacement across the 20^th Century.

In the last segment we explore other elements of island life that will enable us to research our ancestors across other disciplines.
