September 2019 BioBuilder - Letter 'C' Surnames

Question

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is people whose surname begins with the letter 'C'.

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.

This sooooooo needs to be the October theme:

---

Then you could count me out.  Every one of them I tried to work on was pre-1500 and closed to me.

---

All of the Penn and 1776 profiles are post 1500.

---

As I think about it, there are tons of post-1500 profiles: Palatines, Quakers, World War II - actually, most of the modern wars and that about makes up the Military and War Project, New Netherlands, all of the US State Projects...

---

The ones posted for the German Project, with which I am involved, are all pre-1500.  I had already checked.  But I have plenty of other things to do besides writing bios.  A month off would be welcomed.

Comments

SJ, I wonder whether it would be better to reduce the subheadings on Nancy Hasty so that the "Disambiguation" is "above the fold."  That is an exceedingly important note that I would hate to have someone miss.

Not sure I understand what you mean by reduce the subheadings.
