October 2023 - People Named Christopher/Christine

Question

This month’s Bio Builders Challenge theme is People Named Christopher/Christine. Have fun.

You are not limited to profiles on your Watchlist.

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.

Christopher I get - but in the title you say Christopher/Christine, then in the post itself you say Christopher/Christian.  Which is it? or is it both Christine and Christian?

---

Auto correct strikes again. It’s Christine. The idea is to have male and female choices.

---

Majority of my females have the spelling "Christina" so I assume this is also allowed?

---

Is Christopher for a middle name ok?  Or does it need to be first?

---

Good with me.

---

It’s good with me.

---

In Scotland, Christina and Christian are interchangeable

---

Thanks Bob.
