However, there are others who have contributed and we wish to acknowledge them here.
Much of the research for this website has been undertaken by the original authors: Tim Mander, Walter Mander, Sue Adamson and Jackie Morton.
Recently, a new line of Canadian Ridge Manders has been established and information on it compiled and sent by sisters Barb and Dorothy (Canada Family1) - and their cousins, including Janice Mailo (Canda Family 2). Similarly, new UK cousin Christopher Ridge is sending information and photos.
