Legend

Parent Family	Follow this number up one generation to the parent family. The first entry in each family grouping is the marriage record. So the Corresponding Family number will be the family that the father of that family came from. - “UNKNOWN” means no link to the previous generation found.
Child Family	Follow this number down one generation to the child family.
Family Date	The date of marriage if available. If not, then an approximate date prior to the birth of the known first born.
First Name	Self explanatory. I’ve conventionalized all names to avoid duplicity and ambiguity. It also helps when sorting the data if all like names are spelled the same. Example, Elizabeth, Beth, Liz, Lizzie, etc., are all spelled Elizabeth. Many times, the same person will have their name spelled multiple ways on different records or events. - A side note about the surnames John and Joseph. Prior to about the middle of the 19^th century, I could find no Kaighins in the Isle of Man with the surname Joseph. However there are many entries in the IGI with that name. Without exception, all Josephs prior to 1850 or thereabouts turned out to be Johns. Every one of them had a corresponding entry of “John” in the IGI. This is due to a transcription misinterpretation probably by the IGI transcriber. In early records, John was very often written as “Jo”.
M/F	Male, Female, Husband, Wife or Unmarried
Event	Birth, Christening, Marriage or Unmarried
Date	Date of event
Death / Burial	If I found the date of both events, I always listed the date of death.
Father First	Self explanatory (Surname of father is assumed to be Kaighin. Any variations in surname spelling will eventually be added in either the “notes” column or the “IGI surname spelling” column.)
Mother Last	Self explanatory. There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual.
Mother First	Self explanatory. Spelling is also conventionalized in this column for sorting purposes.
Spouse	Self explanatory. There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual. Multiple spouses are listed in additional spouse column(s).
Location	Location of the event.
Resided at	Place or Places individual was known to have lived
Emigration	If emigrated, lists sequence of stops if known.
Occupation	Date will follow occupation if that occupation is listed in a record.
Memo, Notes and Sources	Sources listed here as well as anything else I found pertinent or interesting. As of January 27^th 2006 I am still annotating my sources in the databases, so all sources are not yet listed. In any web pages I create using the database, all email address have had the “@” removed and replaced with “#”. This hides email address from spam “spiders” that search web pages for email addresses.
Census Images	Links to that family’s page of census data. See Kaighins in Census Records.

The first row of each family contains the parent’s marriage data if known.
