50 Greatest Pittsburghers of All Time

Profile manager: John Schalcosky [send private message]

The goal of this project is to compile and compliment Pittsburgh Magazine's list of the "50 Greatest Pittsburghers of All Time" as featured on https://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/the-50-greatest-pittsburghers-of-all-time/. If there is no profile, one is to be created & connected to the Wiki World Tree.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am John Schalcosky.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• Compiling the list of all 50
• Connecting each profile to the WikiTree World family tree
• Connect the entire 50 person list to each other.

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!
