I've gone to search engines & looked under mermaids, mermen, merchildren, merpeople, curses, legends, myths, & folklore. Id there anything else I can look under. I got some great sites from people on here, but I haven't gotten enough to write my story yet. Can anyone help?

I just want to know anything that might help with a story. Legends, myths, curses, folktales. Anything that you can think of.

Also does anyone know of any movies about mermaids that I can watch to get some ideas, besides Disney & Hans Christen Anderson's Little Mermaid?

I searched under siren and came up with these sites. Each site will give you a different outlook on Sirens/Mermaids. I hope one of these will have what you are looking for. I only list a few of the ones I found.

If you told us what type of info you are looking for that you haven't found yet - that might help. Mermaids is a rather large collection of data - What piece haven't you found that you need to know about?
And, just as a point to ponder - When writing a story - you can make up anything you want - the key, make it sound possible, believable. If you are having trouble making something up - get a hold of me, I'm great at it!

i assume the universal legend of mermaids were a million/2 mannatee. I dont have self assurance that evolution could make that for the duration of good shape, and the mermaids on no account had gills or the different establishing to enable loose the water while they extracted the oxygen from it. yet wouldnt that large in the event that they did exist!?

I don't know of a good website, but I do have a book recommendation for you: Magickal Mermaids And Water Creatures: Invoke The Magick Of The Waters, by D.J Conway. This book is full of mermaid info. You can buy it from Amazon fairly cheap. Good luck in your search. :-)
