• Notes

  [Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] Like a true Manson, Norman (senior) was born a blond, pink- cheeked, blue-eyed son of the north -a typical Norseman. Asyou may know, the name MANSON is Norwegian but the Mansons of Norwaycrossed over into Scotland sometime in the Ilth or 12th century, where theyintermarried with the local Pictish descendants -they who so vigorously opposedRoman invasion of Scotland many centuries before. Norman was born in Montrealin 1880, almost the last scion of his parents. When his father died in 1905,Norman married Marie-Antoinette Senez, the younger daughter of parents whoalready had at least three sons, and an older daughter. Antoinette was theyoungest in her family. Brought up in the Catholic faith, she early rebelledagainst the religious teaching to which she was exposed. At the age of 13, she ranaway from her parochial school, and stoutly refused to go back. She waseventually placed in an English-speaking Protestant school, where she was placedunder the tutelage of a blond-blue-eyed young girl by name, Evelyn Manson. Theuickly became friends, and so remained for the rest of their lives.Beginning 1907, Norman and Antoinette begat five sons, and a single daughter.
