We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!

I didn't know George Lucas had Dunkard roots in Lancaster County Pennsylvania (and Mennonite roots through other lines).
