Hear Ye, Hear Ye

If you are interested in people who are famous, notable, noted, significant, important, historic, heroic, or otherwise fascinating, then the Notables Project might be for you! 

The idea behind this post is for anyone who needs help with connecting Notables to the tree to post to this thread and ask for help, or if you want to tell us whom you have successfully connected up, or if you want to join the Notables Project and get a badge.

Besides checking out the Notables Project page, don't forget to take a look at the Notables List page, where you can find lists of Notables who have profiles which aren't yet connected to the main tree. (For ideas on way to connect unconnected people and branches, see the Hints and Tips on the Connectors Chat page.)

Please remember to concentrate on those Notables who have already passed (died), so that we can see their profiles. If you create a profile for a living Notable, that profile WILL GO UNLISTED and no one can see it except for the PM and anyone on the trusted list!

And remember - Notables should have a Wikipedia page at the very least to qualify. But an entry in the country's NATIONAL Whose Who or a NATIONAL Biography  is acceptable as well. And they should be DEAD!

I would love to join the Notables Project.  I have a few profiles I've been working on through the Blacksheep Project, and now that those are being moved to Notables, I need to find out how to get them changed over. Thanks!

I know this lady is Japanese, but she does have a wikipedia page, so I figured I'd better mention her.

Oh my - death by hanging. That's so sad. I saw at least one of those shows, but can't recall what part she may have played in FlashForward. Can't say that I've seen Miss Sherlock, but I don't have HBO so many of those types of things slip by me.

Welcome to the Notables Team!

Just FYI, you don't "technically" have to be part of the team to add a Notables, but we're glad to have you here anyway!
Thanks Scott

My first reaction was to consider whether he's any relation to the short actor who's still living, and that brought a smile. I seriously doubt it. 92 years old - wow. Really shouldn't be too hard to start research on him. Hopefully.

I connected Walter Bentley, the automotive engineer of Bentley car fame.  He is connected to two distinguished families, Waterhouse and Gore.

Makes me wonder if there is a category for automobile manufacturers.
I got him under English Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. There is no category for Automotive Engineers.

I am very sad to see that Helen Reddy has died. I read her memoirs back in 2017, which inspired me to add her profile to the tree.

It is now OPEN!!!

I was just sent a lot of data about Emile Galle. I do not see that he has a profile on WikiTree.  The ones with his name on WikiTree were not the famous glass maker.  Before I create profiles for him and his parents I want to make sure I did not miss him somehow.  The glass maker was born and died in Nancy in France.  He worked for my family at Burgun Schwerer in Meisenthal  and learned the craft. When his father wanted him to set up his own factory Burguns and Schwerers helped him do that and did his overflow work.

I just saw where singer and songwriter Mac Davis has passed away. His songs always seemed to be full of emotion and often brought tears to my eyes, so it's funny how you remember certain people. I didn't see a profile for him, so we'd have to start one up from scratch (unless it's hiding out there).
