Wanted: Former Yukon commissioners

Question

So, now that almost all the colonial governors, lieutenant governors, and premiers of British Columbia have been connected, I'm thinking that it's time to move on to another jurisdiction. 

B.C. is bordered by the Pacific Ocean (where always in motion politics are, difficult to see), Alaska, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.

I figure I'll leave the states for others to work up governors for, so Yukon is the next up. Being a Territory, Yukon doesn't have a Lieutenant Governor, but rather a Commissioner (although the title has varied a lot). Wikipedia has an article on the subject, including a handy list. The site of the Commissioner of Yukon has a history section, with pages for former commissioners. And WikiTreers have put up profiles for a number of former commissioners, although many of them aren't yet connected to the main tree. (And, yes, all of this is in preparation for working up a list of former Yukon commissioners who need to be connected to the main tree.)

However, there are gaps, and I need help closing them:

• Arthur Wilson has no Wikipedia entry, and his page on the Commissioner of Yukon site doesn't list dates or places for his birth or death.
• George Norris Williams does have a Wikipedia entry. Here it is in its entirety: "George Norris Williams (1866-1949) was the acting Commissioner of Yukon from 1916 to 1918." (Yes, that really is the whole entry.) His page on the Commissioner of Yukon site at least lists dates (but not places) for his birth or death.
• George Allan Jeckell also has no Wikipedia entry. His page on the Commissioner of Yukon site does list a date and place for his birth, but only a date for his death.

There may be more people who are similarly hard to trace, but I haven't made it all the way through the list yet.

If anybody can find enough sourced information about either of these guys to warrant putting up WikiTree profiles for them, I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

Looks like two categories exist, need merging.  What's the code for that? The first one has more profiles.  The second only has one closed profiles.

[[Category: Commissioners of the Yukon]]

[[Category: Yukon Territory Commissioners]]

Wow, Santino, you've really taken this idea and run with it, putting up a free-space profile for the commissioners and everything!

It was "Yukon Territory" from its formation in 1898 until 2002, when it became simply "Yukon". So the proper category depends on the timing.

Please make sure to use the correct category and don't combine these  categories or confuse them. It looks like the category entries are already somewhat mixed up. Yukon Territory is currently nested under Yukon. Both are supposed to be higher level categories with no profiles directly added to them.

Please continue listing the Commissioners under Yukon Notables - Yukon Politicians - Yukon Commissioners as you have been doing.

Interesting project

This is super cool! Let me know if you want a hand! I’ve been trying to make sense of a DNA connection who was a commissioner Ione Christensen so this is up my alley! :)
