In memory of
WW II Sgt. Hubert Leon Mankin
1920 - 1990
in appreciation of his hard work, commitment to family,
and of course, his Mankin heritage.

DEDICATION

Our Mankin history is a private matter, for humility is essential above all other traits. This is a website for father and son, mother and daughter, and cousins alone – lest we be intolerable bores to others more humble. I am my father's son, and the information here is presented for your personal use for reasons he taught me. Enjoy what you can, and begin with the following old recollection at hand:

"It were very good, honourable, pleasant and profitable that every great noble, and gentleman of heritage, and specially men of great houses, put in remembrance and made chronicle of their house and surname; of their beginning and progress of their predecessors' lives, particularly of acts and deeds that they did in their time; what succession they had, with whome they were allied, and what was their end.

– Sir Richard Maitland, circa 1650
