Uh.....
The Mandalorians were wiped out the first time because they underestimated the resolve of the Republic in two wars: the Exar Kun War, and then the Mandalorian War.
Eventually, however, they repopulated and formed a "normal life" within the Republic, occupying only Mandalore and a few dozen colony worlds.
However.....eventually, a rogue group of Mandalorians called the "Death Watch" split from the main Armed Forces of the Mandalorians, erupting in a sort-of "civil war" within the Mandalorian ranks.
The "normal" Mandalorians won, though, and the Death Watch were pushed back into becoming nothing more than a small band of elite ex-Mandalorians.
Over many years, the Death Watch began to increase their numbers and ways of armament, however, and so eventually both sides had many casualities.
Many Mandalorians did not fight in the ranks of the Super-Commandos, living instead a peaceful life. However, the Super-Commandos were ever stretched thin in fighting the Death Watch and taking mercenary jobs to feed the Mandalorian people with some amount of wealth.
Eventually, Jaster Mereel came to power amongst the Super-Commandos and sturck many hard-won victories against the Death Watch and their leader, Vizla. Mereel was killed in battle, however, left for dead by his comrade, Montross.
Jango Fett, (descendent of the once infamous Cassus Fett), took up the mantle of Mandalore and lead the Super-Commandos to several victories.
When it chanced that the Mandalorians learned that the Death Watch were being harboured on the world of Galidraan, Jango lead what were left of his Commandos to hunt the Death Watch out for ever, while earning a credit or two doing some mercenary work.
However, when Jango demanded that the "government" of Galidraan hand over what was left of the Death Watch to the Commandos, the "government" called in a false distress-call to the Jedi Order, claiming that the Mandalorians were attacking them for no reason.
Jedi Master Count Dooku was dispatched with several Jedi. The Mandalorian Super-Commandos were all but wiped out by the Jedi, and only after did the Jedi Order discover their mistake. This was one of the factors which lead Count Dooku to leave the Order and join the Sith.
Two known Mandalorians escaped Galidraan: Jango and Silas, friends in arms. Silas was either not there, or escaped somehow. Jango escaped, wrought with fear and hatred of the Jedi, and sorrow for his lost comrades. He was eventually sold into slavery.
Years later, (I believe), Dooku searched out Fett using information he'd learnt from Silas, (who he'd "kidnapped"). This was how Dooku found Fett and incouraged him into agreeing to being Cloned......
If anyone wants more info, just ask......

I'd be happy to oblige, so I'll get writing....
Must note though: I may get some info. mixed up, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Mandalorians and have studied them quite rigourously (sp?)....
*Ahem*:
At this time, it may be prudent of me to mention that Jango Fett was first stumbled upon by Jaster Mereel when Mereel and the other Super-Commandos were fleeing a battle with the Death Watch. The MAndalorians were hunted to Mereel's own homeworld, Concord Dawn, where the Death Watch followed them.
Jango Fett's father was a "Mandalorian", par say, for Concord Dawn had long been a colony-world of the Mandalorians, used mostly to grow food and stock for the MAndalorians. It's harsh climate didn't really allow the Mandalorians an easy planet with which to train their troops, so they made do. But many of the colonies, including Concord Dawn, had long before fallen from the grasp of the Super-Commandos, lost in some Republic hierarchy.
Mereel and his family were some of the last "true blooded" Mandalorians, for they, unlike most others on Concord Dawn, (who had bred with lesser Human blood), had stronger genes and longer lives. They could endure more pain than many others of the planet. The people of the planet were mostly of a darker skin-tone than on the other Mandalorian colonies, but this was not so with MEreel's family: they were as ghostly-white as any other in the galaxy at large.
The Death Watch showed up on the planet, hunting the Super-Commandos. Mereel and his troops hid.
Jango's father tried to stick up for the Mandalorians, for he'd seen them hiding and remembered that he too was a Mandalore, no matter how much lesser. He was killed by the Death Watch, and so too was Jango's mother, and the rest of their family.
Jango ran into the crops, which the Death Watch were lighting aflame, and he helped the Super-Commandos escape into tunnels that ran to the nearest town.
At the town, the young Jango Fett, (probably barely more than seven), was able to kill the Death Watch soldier who had killed his family. Jaster then took him as a sort-of "son", a pupil, and returned to the Mandalorian homebase with Jango in tow.....

Where did they locate this?
This is one reason why I love Expanded Universe in Star Wars. To give more light on small secondary character that are just as interesting as Han, Leia and Luke.
Why do you think one of my favourite book and character is Corran Horn and I, Jedi.

Its a comic, a great one too.
Don't forget that Jango bare handedly killed aboot half a dozen jedi.
And I think he whiped the Death Watch out after escaping from slavery.

Smasandian> Like Bardock said, I got and get some of it from the Comics, (Jango Fett: Open Seasons & the Tales of the Jedi/Sith comics mostly), but also from video games, books, websites, etc.
*Ahem*:
Jango Fett fought with the Super-Commandos for probably over 20 years, still a pupil under Mereel, until the fateful battle on the world of Korda 6, when Mereel was left behind for dead by Montross....(see above for brief explanation of the battle of Galidraan).....
Before being recruited by Dooku, Fett single-handedly defeated a "Sith" named Komari Vosa, (I believe), and he also killed the traitor Montross in a duel, (see Bounty Hunter Video Game).
As said in AotC, the only other thing Jango Fett demanded other than his substantial pay for being Cloned, was one, completely unaltered Clone for himself.
This unaltered Clone would be known as Boba Fett. Jango had asked for this because he was sure that he was far beyond the age fit to have a child, and to begin to "raise a family".
For nearly ten years, Jango Fett personally trained both the Clonetroopers and his own "son" Boba, rigourously (sp?) leading them all under the ancient fighting-techniques of the Super-Commandos, (edged fimly in-place with some Echani fighting-style as well).
There were some Clones, however, who were on different levels of "independent thinking": some Clones could actually think for themselves entirely, while most of the other more "independent" Clones only had a small amount of "independent thought". These Clones could be arranged in this order:
Advanced Reconnaisance Commando (ARC) Troopers> "Jango-like", because they were the most advanced, "independent" Clones, capable of rational and "independent" thought, not only guided by the will to carry out a mission. Jango Fett initially trained 30 batches of 30 ARC Troopers.
Clone Commanders> "Nearly-Jango", because they were hand-trained by the ARC Troopers after the death of Jango Fett, and were less tampered with than other Clones. They were sometimes confused with ARC Troopers later in the Wars, because they tended to wear the same armour as their teachers.
Republic Commandos> "Nearly-nearly-Jango", because they were slightly more tampered with genetically than the Commanders. These troops should not be confused with the regular "Clone Commandos" below.
Clone Commandos> "Slow-Jango", deprived of almost all "independent" thought, though at times these slightly-less trained Commandos were known to be spontaneous.
Clonetrooper Infantry & Naval Personel> "Non-Jango", for these were the least "independent" of all the Clones. They had almost no real "minds" of their own, and would blindly follow orders no matter what.
More later, of the Mandalorians during the Clone Wars.....

Well you only have to know that Alpha rocks, he is an ARC, and he was captured together with Obi Wan Kenobi and tortured for a rather long time, and then both rocked a lot, he was very much like Jango just more soldierlike.

Hopefully so.....
*Ahem*:
During the Clone War(s), the Clones were featured quite prominently, (obviously  ). However, around the time of the Clone Wars, a ragtag team of Mandalorians claiming to be the "Super-Commandos" came forth and began to fight on the side of the Republic. It was believed that somehow Palpatine had conned the local leader into selling some of his troops....
Boba Fett, during the Clone Wars, grew quite rapidly, shedding his young image and joining the Super-Commandos near the end of the Wars. He hated the Jedi, but he respected the Republic. An odd choice.
He had his dealings with General Grievous, Dooku, and even the "Jedi Hunter" Aurra Sing during the Wars, though many of young Fett's activities went unnoticed and unrecorded.
Some Clones prominently featured above others, recognized, and even honoured were:
-Alpha, the ARC Trooper
-Spar, the ARC Trooper who went Rogue
-Jangotat, the ARC Trooper with a soul
-Delta Squad of the Republic Commandos
-Boss and his squad of Republic Commandos, (see the Game)
-Clone Commander Cody, who formed a bond with Jedi Master General Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Commander Cassus, who was Palpatine's personal Clone-liason for the Clone Wars, (he died in an attack on one of the Neimoidian moons)
-Commander Montross, who died aboard one of the first Star Destroyers, (Victory-class); he'd formed a bond with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker
-Commanders Thire and Bly, who were mostly unknown.....
Then there was the non-Clone Mandalore who had served Palpatine as one of the first Imperial Royal Guardsmen, Moran Sinn, an Admiral of the New Republic, (thought to have been killed at the Battle of Coruscant).
