Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 7 Send Message	I am beginning a one name study of the MABEY (and all alternative spellings) families who originated from, migrated to or passed through the Isle of Wight in England. Am not (yet!) professing to be an expert in nor have the most info collated on this name (& its various spellings) but I do have a passion which is to untangle/establish the origins of all the Mabeys etc with an Isle of Wight connection. If you have any connections with this name in the Isle of Wight & would be willing to share your research I would be really interested in hearing from you. I am aware of the Mabey Society in US and the links between non-UK Mabeys etc and Seigneur Pierre Mabille, a French Huguenot born in 1550, who fled to Holland taking on the Dutch name of Van Naerden. But I haven’t yet made a link between their trees and the Isle of Wight families. If anyone has please do let me know. Thanks Angela
