I want to recognize Ralph for his incredible contribution of entering the 1686 Acadian census to every relevant profile. There were 167 men and their wives and children and he made sure each existing profile had appropriate entries and made new profiles for the missing people. His written biography entries were so full of facts and observations, they were pleasant to read.
At the end of that census were some single names entered that required much research because they had no first names or ages. Ralph pursued every one, obtained sources, involved other people who might be able to help and now those profiles are solved mysteries.
While he was doing this, he checked the transcripts and original source too, and added different name spellings, making specific note of when a name was entered incorrectly on the census (compared to other sources).
On his own initiative he made some spreadsheets of these entries and made his first space page to document them for the project.
And then as a bonus, Ralph asked if he could do the same for the 1693 census. Yes, please!
On their own, two other people gave Ralph a Community Star and a Generous Genealogist badge for his work on this project. Well deserved.
