Triskelion: symbol of the Isle of Man
Quine Ancestors, Descendants, and Roots
The Isle of Man is the ancestral home of the Quine family. The Quine family lived in Abbeylands area of the Isle of Man north of Douglas. Farm names included Arderry (1540-1761) and Balafargher (1761-1824) - later renamed Glenville. Information about Manx families is available through the Isle of Man Family History Society. A Quine Family Research Gathering was organized Friday, May 14, 2004, 7:30 pm at Union Mills Methodist Chapel, Isle of Man by Nigel Crowe at: . His Manx Roots web site includes a number of early Quine wills, marriage contracts, deeds, wills, and family trees.

What is the origin of the Triskelion?
According to the 3 page Isle of Man Post Office Authority's Brief General and Postal History "The Origin of the [Triskelion} - "Three Legs of Man" national emblem is shrouded in mystery and authorities differ as to whether its source was Sicilian or Scandinavian. The earliest representation of the three legs occurs in an heraldic roll of 1275. It also appears on the Manx Sword of State which is said to date from the fourteenth century, and this very sword is carried befoe the governor in the annual Tynwald procession at St. Johns on Tynwald [Parliament] Day, July 5th. Regardless of who has ruled over it, the Manx nation has always lived up to the motto which accompanies the coat of arms - 'QUOCUNQUE JECERIS STABIT' (wheresoever you throw it, it will stand)"..
