Sources of Family History

Researching your family history can be an exciting hobby and most of the sources for the study of Manx genealogy are available in the Library. Many of these are held on microfilm or microfiche in the Reading Room. Please note that there is no need to book a reading machine in advance. If you need assistance the staff will be only too happy to help.

Our downloadable information sheet (see below) will give you a broad introduction to the resources available.
