February 2022 BioBuilders Challenge - Letter ‘F’ surnames

Question

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is Letter ‘F’ surnames. You can bio one or both of the profiles. If both profiles are done, list them separately.

Thank you for your support.

Here's our checklist:

Data Section:

• birth date/place
• names of parents
• marriage date/place and spouse name
• names of children, if any
• death date/place

Biography Section:

• Written (full) sentences stating the facts above, adding inline sources to each fact.
• Is the profile '''Genealogically Defined?'''
• As a general rule biographies should be in your own words. Paraphrase and rewrite, don't copy/paste.
• Baptism, burial, military, and other life events with inline sources.
• Something to "humanize" the person, such as career or avocation with sources.
• List of children with at least one pertinent fact.
• Some list siblings. (I think this takes up real estate.)
• Explanatory remarks, if needed (e.g. disputed persons information, Research Notes, whatever needs extra explaining).
• Photos or pictures, background. Not a must, but nice (you need to own the copyright unless they are in the public domain).
• Categories.
• Connection to the Global Tree.
• All duplicates merged or initiated.
• Links to persons and events, perhaps from Wikipedia.
• Historical context as related to the person's life.
• Sources, Sources, Sources.

You can see some ideas on where to find some of this information on the Biography Builders space page.

Answer 15

Oh Fulk! I don't know how to do these challenges (I'm still kind of new), so I add and edit profiles on a whim. But I do have a funny F name story to share:

Not one kid ever dared use my last name as a curse word. Even in 12th grade, I finally tested it out (I'm no cusser) and got in trouble for saying, "Oh Fulk! What the Fulk?" The teacher told me it was too close to the real thing.

So, in World History class, we got a fun substitute teacher on picture day. The school went through the day having the teachers announce when the letter pairs were next. Since the first two letters of my last name was....

Teacher shouted in the silently reading classroom: "F-U!"

A boy equally shouted, "Who!?"

The whole class erupted into laughter.

When we barely caught our breaths, the teacher shouted, "Fulk!"

More laughter ensued.

I laughed as I left, "Why the Fulk does it have to be *me* !?"

Answer 16

I love doing these but my Forbes' and Falconer's are back in the 1600 to 1700 range and really need careful research. I do have a lot of Forbes' more current in orphans recently adopted. It would be a great benefit to use them for this challenge. If that is acceptable, I will add a list.

Comments

There is no date requirement for this challenge.

---

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Question was am I allowed to use my orphans...they  need bio improvement too.

---

Any profiles can be bio’d. They don’t have to be on your Watchlist.

---

PURR-fect! That's what I was hoping you would say.

Lots then, will add a list tonight.

Thanks
