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

• Make Profiles which include BIOGRAPHIES for the Nurses AND their families, as we find them
• LINK THEM to this FREE SPACE
  • cancelled
• ADD them to the Category: Nurses
• add as many sources to the bio as possible
• LINK them to their Ancestors and their Descendants if any

Right now this project just has one member,
