- Verifying wives and children and adding sources
Project Management Templates
What does the project manage?

- Any ancestor for a US President where the ancestry is unproven, uncertain, or under discussion and the profile is NOT managed by another project.
The project is also on the trusted list of many of the siblings and other relatives of the above people to aid in keeping the tree accurate.
