This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is people With the same last name as any President. Everyone have fun.

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.

P.S. Suggestions for future themes are ways welcome, especially if they tie into, or help, a Wikitree Project.

How about the people who are named after Presidents, too?  George Washington Uber, Thomas Jefferson Gross, etc.?  If not, I won't be clearing many on my Watchlist, since I work primarily on those of German heritage.

Last name for this challenge. Sorry. But I’ll keep it in mind for a future theme.

Um - Can we include UK prime ministers for us in the UK???

Do company presidents count or just country Presidents?

I’ll give you Prime Ministers, as they are a political leader. You might want to start a Space Page for PM’s.

Thanks Bob

Space page already on wikitree  English Prime Ministers

In fact there is a page for the US_Presidents_and_Vice_Presidents although Vice President don't count for this month's challenge

I'll have to skip this month, I don't have any of those names.  Lots of Clintons but only as a middle name.  If I can get back to the surname I'll come in later in the month.

I have a string of men named Thomas Clinton Hall all from London England !

Oh my! My grandfather is Harding. My great-grandmother is Johnson. Another grandparent is Adams - and my husband is Taylor.  And.... We both have Jacksons in our lineage. I think I'm going to be busy this month. 

I'm still sick, so I will do what I can. But I will start with my grandfather. I miss him so much and he was an interesting person.
