Introduction

(Note: This page is a sub-page of the Unconnected Notables page, which, in turn, is a sub-page of the Connectors Chat page. For more details about what's going on here, please read the Connectors Chat page. Also, please post any messages about what's happening on this page on the Connectors Chat page.)

This table lists colonial governors and lieutenant governors, governors general, provincial lieutenant governors, premiers and commissioners of Canada, its provinces and territories who have profiles on WikiTree that are not yet connected to the main tree.

  • The "Branch Size" number is the total number of profiles in the branch that contains that person's profile. (If the branch size is 1, it means that that person has not been linked to any parent, spouse, or child's profile.)
  • The "Name" is the full name for that person, or the name by which they are commonly known.
  • The "Last Name At Birth" is normally that notable's last name at birth. (If that notable is from a culture which does not use last names, then the Last Name At Birth will be whatever is used in that person's WikiTree ID.)
  • The "Country" cell includes any country where somebody from that branch was born. (Note that many branches spread over more than one country, so you may miss some branches that are at least partly in the country you're looking for if you sort the table by this column. To make sure that you find all of them, try searching within this page using Control-F if you're running Linux or Windows, or Command-F if you're running macOS.)
  • The "Order" cell lists that person's order in the succession of the office in that state, territory, or district.
  • The "Place" column lists the place where that person was elected or appointed to office (whether for Canada as a whole, or for a colony, dominion, or territory which is now part of Canada, or a current province or territory).
  • If there is an asterisk (*) in the "1900" column, it means that person was alive in the year 1900. This is to mark profiles that are eligible for inclusion in La Belle Époque Project.

You can sort the list by any column (Branch Size, Name, Last Name At Birth, Country, Order, Place, or Working On) by clicking on the sort symbol in the header for that column.

Free space profiles (like this one) work pretty much the same way that profiles for people do, so all the same syntax applies. So to show that you are working on a branch, edit this page, scroll down to the listing you want work on, and replace the number at the end of the line with two opening square brackets ([), then your WikiTree ID, then a pipe (|), then your name, then two closing square brackets (]), like this: [[Example-123|Ferdinand Grubstake]].

Similarly, when you connect a branch (or discover one that's already connected), add Connected (or Found connected) and then the date. Put three single quotes (') before and after "connected" to put it into bold, like this: "'Connected'" 2022-05-01. One of the page pruners will then delete that entry in a couple of weeks, after everybody has had a chance to celebrate the new connection.

Feel free to add more unconnected notables, but please do not add notables whose profiles are not set to Open. Connecting is hard enough without having to deal with privacy restrictions.

I recently learned that the old Succession boxes are being replace by a new
Preceded by
position established
position1
Succeeded by
position abolished
template. If you're working on any of these profiles, could you please take the extra time to convert the succession box from the old format to the new one? See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Succession for details.
posted by Greg Slade
Dang, I assume that it's the case for all such Succession boxes. Here's hoping that they do an EditBot change for this. Not sure how many I have: Fathers of Confederation, Canada Premiers, Canadian Prime Ministers, and then premiers of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Alberta, Yukon, Nunavut, NW Territories, also Mayors of Calgary and Edmonton. Who knows what else ... yikes!
posted by Bob Jewett
It is true for all succession boxes, but there's no rush. The old styles have been deprecated, but they're not going to stop working. So I'm just converting to the new syntax as I touch profiles. Fortunately, the changes aren't very drastic (although I haven't tried doing it with a succession box that's in another language yet, so I don't know if the syntax to translate "preceding" and "succeeding" works in the new template yet), but, yeah, there are a *LOT* of profiles with succession boxes out there. I don't know if EditBot would work for this.

Earlier this year, the Canada Project organized its monthly connection challenge by birth dates including for governmental officials. Over the last two months, the Canada Project has exclusively featured Governmental officials.

You can find the last two months of G2G posts listing the governmental officials here:

August - https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1614717/help-connect-canada-project-notables-challenge-august-2023 (2 remain unconnected)

September - https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1630540/help-connect-canada-project-notables-challenge-september (4 remain unconnected)

Any assistance with connecting the 6 individuals whose profiles remain unconnected would be appreciated.

Okay, I still haven't gotten the list of unconnected former mayors (and reeves) up to three per target city yet, but with the addition of a former mayor of Saskatoon, I have finally managed to find at least one profile for an unconnected deceased former mayor or reeve for all 28 target cities on the list. (And I also moved all of the profiles listed in the Canada, Mayors category to lower-level categories: at least to the province or territory, if not to the specific city.)
posted by Greg Slade
I had a weird time trying to find former reeves and mayors for Vaughan yesterday. (I'm in the midst of trying to bulk up the list to three mayors for each of the target cities.) I found three (count 'em!) former reeves, all of whom already had profiles, and were already connected, before I finally found the profile for Garnet Williams. Oddly enough, even though Williams had Vaughan's recreation centre named in his honour, he doesn't have an article on WikiTree, and (more to my purposes), his profile isn't connected to the main tree yet. So now, Vaughan has a scattering of former reeves and mayors with profiles all through its history, but if I remember correctly, only two of them are actually consecutive, so the succession boxes aren't much use yet.

The following search is helpful to determine which Canada notables are unconnected. You may want to cross check the unconnected politicians from this list to the names in the search results. If someone is not included in the search results, my suggestion is to add notables stickers to those who are eligible for notable stickers.

You may also find additional unconnected politicians not currently in your list.

Note: This search is updated weekly. If changes are made, they will not immediately be seen.

Thank you, Russell. Everything you say is true.

To review why I started this page, it's basically an outgrowth of the ideas that I posted on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:How_to_increase_a_country%27s_presence_on_WikiTree

Now, Canada has long had profiles for all our deceased past prime ministers and governors-general, and all those profiles are sourced and connected to the main tree. (Most of them don't have their full set of great-grandparents, but since the Notables Quick Links page has gone away, that doesn't matter as much as it used to, although adding great-grandparents would still make it easier for people to find family connections to those leaders.)

Similarly, all but one of B.C.'s deceased former colonial governors, premiers, and lieutenant governors have profiles and are also sourced and connected, thanks to people who took part in that challenge: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/771735/help-connect-british-columbia-premier-lieutenant-governor and Yukon is getting pretty close to being done thanks to the people who took part in this one: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/789282/can-you-help-connect-a-yukon-commissioner

I was kind of hoping that other people would take on the challenge of creating more challenges for their home provinces and territories, but if anybody ever did, I never heard about it. So this page started out being the equivalent of launching 11 more provincial/territorial challenges, except that it takes less work. As we started to run out of colonial governors, commissioners, lieutenant governors, and premiers for more provinces and territories, I decided to expand the pool by adding in deceased former mayors of Ottawa, the provincial and territorial capitals, and the 14 next largest cities in Canada. And, during CoViD, the thought occurred to me that it would be nice to honour deceased former ministers of health. But I'm not such a political junkie that I really want to spend time chasing down all the former aldermen of Spuzzum, British Columbia, so if I'm still around when the last of the people in the categories I've already set for this page are connected, I'll probably shut this page down. Already, there are at least partial "spines" of connected profiles through time for every province and territory and 28 cities, so it should already be easier for people with family in Canada to connect their own branches to the main tree, which was the point of the exercise in the first place.

Thanks Greg.

Here is a search that brings in even more notable - https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=Subcat9=Notables%3DCanada+unconnected&MaxProfiles=5000&Format=&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=1500

But it only works if there are the applicable categories on the profile.

posted by Russell Butler
Okay, we are nearly done with Yukon politicians. There are only two commissioners still to connect, and only three deceased premiers. Once those are done, Yukon's territorial leaders will all be connected. (I'm curious to see whether the last Yukon leader gets connected before David Lam, who has been the lone holdout in B.C. for ages.)
posted by Greg Slade
So now, B.C., Yukon, Nunavut, Ontario, and New Brunswick all have no more deceased former premiers, commissioners, lieutenant governors or colonial governors to add, so once the ones currently on the list are all connected, those jurisdictions will be complete. I'll be interested to see which one gets completed first. (My guess is that B.C. will be last, because connecting David Lam would probably require access to Chinese records.)
posted by Greg Slade
As we get closer to getting all the premiers and lieutenant governors from all the provinces and territories connected to the main tree, I'm looking at other politicians to add to the list. I've already listed the first few (unconnected) federal ministers of health, but today I decided to check out mayors. I looked up mayors for Ottawa, the provincial and territorial capitals, and the 13 largest other cities in the country. So far, I've been able to find at least one unconnected mayor for all the cities in the list except for Gatineau, Halifax, Hamilton, Iqaluit, Laval, Markham, Mississauga, St. John's, Surrey, and Yellowknife. Some (not very many) of the mayors are on WikiTree, but the ones who are on WikiTree are already connected. So if you want to make sure that your city is covered, you might want to create a profile for a former mayor.

Okay, I finally finished adding the mayors I've found so far to the table. Now to work on finding (or creating) profiles for mayors of the remaining cities.
posted by Greg Slade
I found and added some more mayors. I'm trying to get the list up to at least two per city. Thank you very much to those who have created profiles. It's so much easier linking to an existing profile than creating a new one.

Some cities (like Toronto) have clearly had somebody go through and add profiles for former mayors and connect them with connnection boxes. Thank you so much to anybody who has done that for even one mayor. It makes maintaining this page SO much easier!

Other cities, I'm having real trouble with. So far, I haven't found a single mayor for Markham, Mississauga, St. John's, Saskatoon, or Yellowknife.

Still others (Iqauit, Saint John, Surrey, and Vaughan, for example) don't even have Wikipedia articles for most of their mayors. I've been able to find a very few mayors or reeves in those cases, but without Wikipedia to guide me, it's taking a LOT longer.
