WELCOME TO THE U.S. GOVERNORS PROJECT

Project Overview
The goal of this project is to develop and connect the profiles for each of the current and former United States governors.
The main objectives of this project are to...
- 1) Create a profile for each governor.
- 2) Write an accurate genealogy-based biography for each profile.
- 3) Source each profile as thoroughly as possible.
- 4) Identify and add profiles for each governor's parents, siblings, spouses, and children.
- 5) Connect each profile to the Big Tree.
COMPLETED PROFILE CHECKLIST for what The U.S. Governors Project considers to be an "essentially completed" profile.

CURRENT GOVERNORS OF THE UNITED STATES
Below is a list of the 50 current governors of the United States. A list of past governors for each state can be found by clicking the state name next to the name of each governor. State names in bold will take you to that state's Governors Free Space page. All others will take you to the state's Governors category page.
To see a consolidated list of governors from all 50 states who are still in need of connecting to the Big Tree, click here: Unconnected Governors.

Eventually, I would like to include the colonial governors also. I wasn't able to find a WikiTree profile for Gov. Jenkins but he should certainly have one. Anything you can contribute to the tree would definitely be an asset to both genealogists and historians alike.
And also, Alabama's current governor is Kay Ivey, who is quite an interesting character. Please retire Bentley!
I added a link to this as a sub-project of Project:United States History and it should also be in the next newsletter. Great project!

Of the 47 Pennsylvania governors, 28 are not connected. I'll start working on those profiles.
