Within the Genealogy Pages the Enchanted Family all starts with the famous people named Adam and Eve. Then their descendants scattered throughout the world. Some were famous by their deeds or heritage like Royalty of many countries, US Presidents, E.J. Smith Captain of the Titanic, Lady Godiva, Magna Carta signers, Pilgrims, Immigrates, Soldiers, Authors and much more. But what really makes them famous is they are all part of the Enchanted Family which are ancestors and descendants of Lady Kathleen. The Enchanted Family Website first had its roots within the The Enchanted Castle, but it soon outgrew the castle walls as did the Enchanted Poetry. So now when Lady Kathleen is not running her business Website Designing Business you can perhaps find Lady Kathleen here researching genealogy.

People, Places and Events and keeping it all organized.

Helpful TIP: Keep a file folder of maps, dates and places handy and organize your files on your computer.  Here at the Enchanted Family I use a program called TNG, which I am also incorparating into my WordPress blog.  I have always been interested in history, well maybe not so much dates but the events and people.  But I hated all those historical dates that we were told to memorize. So, I would memorize them for an exam and then, promptly forget them! I never figured I would have a reason to use those dates, names, places, events after school, so in time they seem to have disappeared out of my memory. 

Later, I am building my family tree and am running into many challenges. For example, I am researching my greatgrandfather’s military service – there is a family story that he fought in the a War – but I have no idea when the War began, except that it was before 1900. It would obviously be very helpful to have those dates in a simple chart of wars or skirmishes.

Over the years, I have learned to gather both specific and general maps of relevant areas and dates. I now have more success finding my ancestors in the correct places at the times they may have lived there. And I understand what kinds of resources I might search for details of an ancestor living in that decade.

There are many historical resources that I have found which can be very helpful when I am uncovering my family’s particular history. I start by asking lots of questions: What was happening at that time, in that decade? Where exactly were they living? Is there a history written of that area? What area of the country was being sold or annexed? Where was the seat of government, and when was it established? Where were records kept in that year? Were there newspapers published in those places? Where did ships arrive, and from where? Are there passenger lists available, indexed, online?  Oh yes Online is one of my most favorite places to search for information and that is why the birth of the Enchanted Family came to be.  I feel I am giving back to others by posting what I have found.  I also find that detailing as much as I can about people places and events make my ancestors’ history come alive, and I hope my tree is intriguing to others like yourself.  So weather you are in my family line or not I hope you can find something of interest.
