Requests and Messages from other Cadwell Genealogists

This page is intended to be your first step in tracing Cadwell genealogy. Users can submit files of their Cadwell-related genealogy to be added to the database at any time, free of charge. (GEDCOM format is preferred, but not required.) The only requirement is that the information be related to the Cadwell family tree.

There is a section on this page for books and documents relating to Cadwell genealogy. If you have a related book or document for sale, available for lookups, or ready for submission to the site, please feel free to contact the site and a reference will be added.

There are also links to genealogy pages on the web that contain references to Cadwells. I try to keep these links up to date, but it's easy to overlook a few new or obsolete links. Please let me know of any omissions or errors. Sites followed by the icon  were not reachable the last time I checked. Any site that is unreachable three times will be removed unless I am told otherwise. If your site has disappeared from the list, please check the Link Archive for a reason and send a message to add it back.

Finally, there is a section for the posting of requests for information from other Cadwell researchers. This section occupies a page of its own. Please feel free to contact anyone listed. Adding a request is free and easy. Please limit your requests to Cadwells, though.

In general, the best way to find those missing links using Cadwell Central site is:

  1. Submit a brief synopsis of who you are looking for to the requests page.
    It's easy to do, just follow the instructions.
  2. Search the requests page to see if another researcher has posted a familiar line.
  3. Search the Cadwell Genealogical Database for familiar names and contact the associated researcher.
  4. Submit as many details of your entire family tree as you would like to have published to the Cadwells Genealogical database for other researchers to search.
    It's free and easy. Nearly any format is accepted. Please write to scottw at wilkinsons dot com for details.
  5. Spend some time browsing the sites listed below.

Good luck on your search!

Database

The Cadwell genealogical database is comprised of data I have collected combined with the data sent to me by other researchers who have requested inclusion. The database is managed with GED2HTML (shareware and registered). Note that some names may be duplicated if more than one researcher has submitted the same information. For information on a specific person, please send mail to the researcher listed as the source (if there is one for the person in whom you are interested).

(As of January, 1999 - due to regular complaints and the occasional threat of a lawsuit - all individuals in the database who are determined to be living are blanked out. Only their names remain. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't afford to pay legal costs.)

I personally manage my family tree with Family Tree Maker 2005 by My Family. It's good from a few names to many thousands of names. I prefer the standard version, but the Deluxe versions can be fun if you're just starting out. Or, if you're really cheap, you might find old Family Tree Maker 9.0 or 11 versions (back from when Broderbund ran the show) for sale secondhand.



Equal time for competing products. I can't vouch for them, but Amazon users have left some reviews that might be useful.


There are tons of books on Genealogy and on-line research. Some of the more interesting titles include the following.


The graphic below displays the currently most popular books at Amazon.com on Genealogy research. It's supposed to update every time you visit the page. Hopefully you'll find something of use if not this time, then perhaps the next time you visit.
