There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the actual origins of the Manson family. Some sources say Mary Burnner was the first 'member' while others say Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme. I personally think Squeaky was the first female member. Whether it was Mary or Squeaky, Manson started his collection of misfits and outcasts in the Haight-Ashbury of San Franscico about the year 1967. As Manson moved south to Los Angeles he picked up more family members along the way. By the time the group were living at Spahn's Movie Ranch there were at least 20 more or less permanent members. And of course there were a few that would come and go, like a Santa Ana wind. These were usually men. It was no mistake on Manson's part that most of his family members were women. For him they were easier to contol and manipulate.
*Interesting point:More than 40 years have come and gone since the Tate-LaBianca murders and most of the family members are on the wrong side of middle age now. Long ago most of them 'deprogrammed' and joined the real world again. Long ago Atkins, Krenwinkle, Van Houten discovered their fatal error in following and giving up the own will to a killer like Manson, but with the exception of two. Lynette Squeaky Fromme and Mary Brunner still seem to have affection and a certain amount of loyalty to Charles Manson. I just find it interesting that the two probable 'original' members of the family still seem to be stuck in a time warp where Manson is concerned.
