PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • A Revised Account of the Inscriptions of the Northern 1'Igts. by John Rhys, M.A., Ll.D., Hon. Mem. S.A. Scot., Principal of Jesu
    VII. A REVISED ACCOUN E INSCRIPTIONTH F O E TNORTHER TH F O S N 1'IGTS. BY JOHN RHYS, M.A., LL.D., HON. MEM. S.A. SCOT., PRINCIPAL OF JESUS COLLEGE, AND PUOFESSOB OF CELTIC, OXFORD. Some live years ago I attempted a comprehensive account of the ancient inscriptions north of the Forth, and ventured on speculations as to the language and race of the Picts (see these Proceedings, vol. xxvi. 263-351, als'b pp. 411, 412), It seems to me that it is now time to survey the materials again, partly because their number has since increased, and partly because I committed various blunders in my paper, some of fact and some of conjecture. I attempted then to prove the Pictish language relate o Basquet d t whethe bu ;s relate i t i notr r o d , my attemp o prov t s tbee ha e n s i thapronounced t i t d doubtlesan , s justly pronounced, a failure.

    CHAPTER I - Third Manx Scrapbook http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/scrap3/ch01.htm [From 3rd Manx Scrapbook ] CHAPTER I ENGLISH AND OTHER SURNAMES IN MAN 1. The Caesars — 2. The Bacons. — 3. Racial Sources. — 4. Some Early Names. — 5. Names of English Origin. — 6. The Skillicornes — 7. The Scarffes — 8. Flexney or Flaxney. — Addenda. 1. The Caesars. SINCE our ancestors — our inherited qualities — are the dream-stuff of which we are made, continuing their lives in us, there is, for those who see the matter so, an interest in knowing what kind of a part their forerunners played on the stage of the world. It was the boast of the " typical Irishman " of the popular novel and drama that he was descended from the ould Kings of Ireland, and that if he had his rights he would be receiving rent instead of paying or owing it. But the blood of the Stanleys, and, farther back, that of the Scandinavian masters of the Island, must be circulating in modest quantity through the veins of the majority of living Manxmen ; and if those worthies are deemed too remote, the extinct Caesar family has passed on its ducal ichor not only through the Bacons (and the two names, at least, were intertwined by marriage and friendship long before either was established in the Isle of Man), but by means of the various other alliances it contracted during the couple of centuries of its insular existence. Most of the accessible information concerning the English Cæsars has been taken from Lodge's Life of Sir Julius Caesar , of which only 20 copies were printed; but certain additional matter is to be found in local histories and Heralds' Visitations, and scattered through the volumes of Notes and Queries .

Sample selection proved to be important because differences were found in the similarly selected indi• genous Manx population - between donors and non-donors. In addition to a study of phenotype distributions and gene frequencies in the three selected populations, a regional analysis of the Manx data, though on a limited level, was effected.

  • London Manx Society Are Especially Well Placed to Help Answer
    NEWSLETTER Autumn 2012 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton Tynwald Cooish Whilst many familiar faces were missing from the Tynwald cooish held at the home of Margarita and Douglas Barr-Hamilton, it was nice to welcome some new ones: Eleanor Vine and her son Bob from nearby Oakwood and Carol Radcliffe from Billericay. Tables had been prepared and chairs had been placed on the patio to enjoy the sunshine but, sadly, guests soon found themselves indoors because of a cool wind and the threat of rain. Douglas was doing an excellent job cooking the kippers in the kitchen and, along with various gateaux, shortbread and bonnag to follow, everyone enjoyed the usual Tynwald feast. Manx songs followed with both Eleanor and Carol singing Ramsey Town with gusto but things were curtailed to Ellan Vannin and the National Anthem as people hastened to watch the Isle of Man featured on Country File. Many thanks to Douglas and Margarita for hosting the event, attended in this instance by two lovely nonagenarians, Eleanor, who loved the singing, and our own dear Maisie Sell. Mavis Bell Manx profile grows in States When I had the pleasure of attending the North America Manx Association biennial convention in Denver, Colorado two years ago we discovered that a large part of the assembled group were descended from Manx from either Peel or Laxey. We know too that many went to Ohio, particularly to Cleveland but we learned that there was also an early community that settled in the northern state of Wisconsin in the early 1840s that had even named their village “Laxey” and that the University of Wisconsin in Platteville had agreed to open a museum to maintain the history of the Manx in America and to help students and researchers in the years to come.
