Leslie's family tree shows her heritage was on the Isle of Man hundreds of years ago
The Isle of Man remains a source of fascination for those with extensive family histories, as one woman from Canada has spent nearly half a century tracing her heritage.
Leslie Erdman travelled to the Island in hopes of seeing some of the places her ancestors once lived.
Before the internet and digital age, Ms Erdman spent countless hours painstakingly sifting through records, searching for small pieces of information that might reveal secrets about her origins.
She spoke to Manx Radio's Christian Jones ahead of taking a tour around the Island:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
