I'm not actually a Manthorpe - I'm a "Smith"!
A number of years ago my father started to build a family tree and during his research into our history he found we were connected to the Manthorpe name (his mother's maiden name, I believe) and through his research met members of the Manthorpe line.
This community has been keeping in touch through the means of a quarterly Manthorpe newsletter, and have had a successful meeting in Norfolk (UK). I'm not "properly" connected to the group - part of my contribution is to continue the work my Father started with his website. The results are as you see now.
The site itself is still in development phase; it has been mentioned in the latest newsletter so I'm expecting more visitors along with suggestions and contributions. Apart from that, I can put you in touch with others in the community if that helps.
Good meeting you anyway, Marston. Where in USA do you hail from?
