Ellan Vannin is the jewel of the Irish Sea. Treasured by Norse sea kings. I am a Cannell, the oldest family name recorded on the Island, on the Ballyqueenie Ogham Stone, held in the Manx Museum. The inscription reads, the stone of Bivadus Son of the tribe of Cunavali. Or Cannell ( or Connaille).. Bivadus Maqvi Mucoi Cunavali. Good video.

Fun fact : The Creation of the "Island of Sodor" from Thomas & Friends was inspired when its creator, the Rev.w.Awdry visited the Isle of Man in the 1950s. Wilbert a Reverand of the Church of England noted that there was a Diocese of Sodor and Man and that there was an Isle of Man, however no "Island of Sodor". So he decided to create it, since he was already looking for a set of consistent locations for his Stories to take place in and easy to imagine for children.

From the Clan Mackinlay I learned a lot about my Manx and Scottish ancestry from this video. Thanks for the post. 🇮🇲🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Proud of my heritage, and you have a lovely accent

I am a MacLeod decendant and they are supposedly decendants of Olaf the Black King of Dublin and the Isle of Man. Olaf is said be decendant of the Crovan Dynasty Kings. It would be cool to see what else you could dig up. I am also a Macdonald of Sleat decendant from Skye. Decendants of Somerled who I believe was Norse Gael.

That's one of the best things about "Tiny little Europe". Everyone everyone's brothers and sisters. That's a pretty good chance that I'm one of your far (or not?) relatives 😂.

[@celtichistorydecoded]

Fix your wee graphic showing Ireland-IOM-England, it's wrong and annoying. If you are using Political names it should be ROI/NI - IOM - England. If you are using Geographic names then it should be Ireland-IOM-Great Britain.

[@jimferry6539]

Calm down mate 😅

[@asanulsterman1025]

@@jimferry6539 Why? It's insulting to my nation. Would you like to see the island of Great Britain referred to as England?

[@iainmc9859]

You make a good point about the naming on the wee graphic. However, you're not living in a Nation. You're living in a Province or Region with a non-functioning devolved government.@@asanulsterman1025

[@anthonycordato7118]

Bring the counties back

[@asanulsterman1025]

@@anthonycordato7118 I agree. Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan should be returned to Ulster (aka NI) soonest.
