Earlier this year I created the profile for the UK notable, Sir Frank Whittle whos is credited with thedeveopment of the jet engine. Since I have endeavoured to connect him to the the "One Family Tree" without success.

Can you or the Connectors Project assist with this task please?

(Ron, a recent question I had about the Notables category resulted in an answer that indicates we are not to use "Notables" category on a profile-- that it is a higher level category and the person should be categorized by their specific notable subcategory.)
Then should the "Notable" template not be used?

I've added him to the Unconnected Notables list on the Connectors Chat page.

THe Notables template can be used; it's the high-level category Notables that should not be used on a profile.

I agree.  I am connected and he is connected to me.  

However on the "Notables that need improving" project he is in the unconnected section and should be moved down I think.  There are several profiles in that section that have connected entered in the table (though under the sources column which I don't understand).

I've added the parents and some of the siblings for his second wife and also a note about Hazel's daughter by her first marriage (I've not added her as she's still alive as far as I know).  Over to everyone else :-)

I've also found the index entry for Hazel's first marriage and added that
