Please accept my personal thanks for your contributions of precious time and effort to WikiTree. Since we are a collaborative effort, your participation is an absolute necessity. In the order of things there is an even flow from child to parent to grandparent, theoretically back to Adam and Eve. Our computers do the heavy lifting but they depend on certain data. Of course the key ingredient is Last Name at Birth (LNAB). The computer then looks for a date of birth (DOB) and date of death (DOD). In this particular case, both are missing. A data-sort is non-productive. Would you please take a moment and add a birth or death date, even if it's only an estimate? The web-gurus will love you.
