Happy New Year! Sorry this is late going up.

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is People who married in January. You can bio one or both of the profiles. If both profiles are done, list them separately.

Thank you for your support.

Here's our checklist:

Data Section:

  • birth date/place
  • names of parents
  • marriage date/place and spouse name
  • names of children, if any
  • death date/place


Biography Section:

  • Written (full) sentences stating the facts above, adding inline sources to each fact.
  • Is the profile '''Genealogically Defined?'''
  • As a general rule biographies should be in your own words. Paraphrase and rewrite, don't copy/paste.
  • Baptism, burial, military, and other life events with inline sources.
  • Something to "humanize" the person, such as career or avocation with sources.
  • List of children with at least one pertinent fact.
  • Some list siblings. (I think this takes up real estate.)
  • Explanatory remarks, if needed (e.g. disputed persons information, Research Notes, whatever needs extra explaining).
  • Photos or pictures, background. Not a must, but nice (you need to own the copyright unless they are in the public domain).
  • Categories.
  • Connection to the Global Tree.
  • All duplicates merged or initiated.
  • Links to persons and events, perhaps from Wikipedia.
  • Historical context as related to the person's life.
  • Sources, Sources, Sources.

You can see some ideas on where to find some of this information on the Biography Builders space page.

Use "comments" below to ask questions.

NOTE: Biography Builders will not show on the tracker. Please add a list to your answer.

I have a bunch of those! I'll join

  1. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Marchman-26 Yes - I realize she was supposed to married in January - but it wasn't until I started digging that I realized the previous profile owner had the date wrong on her first marriage to Mahlon Price. I finished her profile, though.

Hi Sue, you can create a profile link using the chain link (the sideways figure of 8) in the tools see greyed area, across the top of your post heading.  To convert the ones you have just highlight them click the chain link and fill in the two fields and save.

All the best Janet
Don't see it but I will check again later.

Do you mean the chain link?

Sorry, sometimes it takes me awhile.
Hi Sue, yes the chain link is what I mean, let's you create a direct link to the profiles
