With this being Black History Month I thought I would do a profile of a famous African American connected to Maine. First name that came up was James A. Healy. Born a slave in Georgia and became the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine. I created a profile for him. Then started reading what was on the internet about him. Very interesting read. Father was Irish and mother was a mixed race slave who had 10 children together. Do not know how to handle his parents relationship? James probably should be a notable with some of his other siblings? This family is beyond my expertise. Need help!!!

I think you made a great start with so many sources!  You are correct, he is notable.  I added the Template and a link to his page on wikipedia.

I've started profiles that got very involved.  I just set them aside and go back when I have a clearer head.  It is also okay to not work on it anymore if you don't want to.
