Mine seemed to move every time they had a child, but mostly Maughold and Douglas. If you haven't done any research lately, Nyneve, you may not be aware that the IOM registers are now on the IGI? I searched for about three years on the IGI for the birth of my 2 x GGM and could never find anything. One day I did a routine search - and there she was! And all the rest of the clan too. Before I lost all my favourites (computer had a coronary) I had a wonderful site with loads and loads of Manx information and history on it. OC
