Another great-great grandfather came from Malaysia. Many others came from England . . I would love to have been able to read their journals. I am a product of many nations and love it. It's fun to see the different color of skin and hair and eyes in my descendants. Some of my children have my father's thumbs! I love family, they are wonderful and I love knowing where I come from.

History says when the British came to settle here and saw the local natives they thought they looked "Manly" hence the name. We have lived in many states and towns since I was born but Manly means innocent childhood, being surrounded by family, picnics at the beach and swimming,great happiness and lots of love. With my Family Tree I have tried to explain my childhood to my children,grandchildren and great grand children. Hopefully they get to have a wonderful childhood too.
