Most of the information is right in the
Silmarillion and the
Unfinished Tales. I just keep notes when I read. There's also a webpage listed in my sources there. Whenever my notes were unclear, I would go to that page and look up a name, to verify relations or to jog my memory.
Even apart from family trees, that webpage (The Encyclopedia of Arda) is a really good Tolkien reference. It lists pretty much every character, place, etc. and gives some information, cross-references, etc.
And thanks for reminding me about the "m."--I should make a note of it in the next revision of the tree.

Yeah, I liked it, particularly the tales of Turin and Tuor (probably because of my predeliction for the First Age). I think I still prefer the
Silmarillion overall, though.
