  • Verifying parents and adding sources for all of the above
  • Verifying Ancestral lineages and making sure that the project manages at least the first four generations of ancestors.
  • Verifying wives and children and adding sources

Project Management Templates

What does the project manage?

  1. US Presidents, their spouses, children and grandchildren and 4 generations of ancestors
  2. US Vice Presidents, their spouses, children and grandchildren; and 4 generations of ancestors
  3. 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.
