Welcome to the web site dedicated to recording the family history of the Ennevers, Enevers and our related families.  You can search for individuals, display family trees, calculate relationships, read family histories and view photographs and other historical documents.  There are currently 11 family branches with more than 18,450 people and 2,800 unique surnames on the site, and over 2,000 Ennevers, Enevers, Enivers, Ennevors and other early variations.

You can try following the family histories and other links for an insight into some of the more interesting aspects of the families including a few well-known names, some law-breakers and even illegal and bigamous marriages.  The "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) link will give you an overview of the family branches, all of which are believed to be linked, and help you to make the most of the information available.  Your help to keep our family history as up-to-date as possible is always welcome.  Thank you, Barry Ennever.
