New Facebook Page

We now have a new page on Facebook. The convention picture below is posted in a photo album, along with smaller full-sized pictures. If you see anyone that you know, you can "tag" the pictures for all to see.

The new facebook page can be accessed from the entry in the menu at the left or by clicking Here. You might need to have a free account on Facebook. To learn how to use Facebook, consult anyone younger than 25. Its easiest to have someone help you get started[Webmasters note: I still go to my 19 year old daughter with questions on this]

About the North American Manx Association

The North American Manx Association (NAMA) is a non- profit, ethnic and cultural heritage institution founded in 1928, as a successor organization to Mona's Relief Society of Cleveland, Ohio. NAMA is a group of Americans and Canadians dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the Manx culture. Most of NAMA's 850 active members are second and third-generation North American. In the U.S., there are chapters in Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; Rocky Mountain; Galva, Illinois; the Greater Washington, D.C. area; Minnesota; Nebraska; Northern California; San Diego, California; and Wisconsin.

In Canada, you will find Manx groups in Ontario; and in Vancouver, British Columbia. NAMA is interested in helping Manx in all areas get in touch with local chapters or assisting those who want to start new chapters.

NAMA publishes the quarterly NAMA Bulletin, sent to each of its enrolled members.

For Manx genealogy, there is the Isle of Man Family History Society (IOMFHS). Since they are not a part of NAMA, you should join both organizations.
