Famous Swedes that may need more work

Question

Some time ago I set up a page listing famous Swedes who lived in recent times but not anymore and who could need some more work in Wikitree. I get their "notability" by combining various data in Wikidata and Wikipedia, which gives results that are rather good, I think.

There are two lists: One with those that don't have many near ancestors in Wikitree and one with those that seem to be missing totally. Currently both lists are headed by male authors, Verner von Heidenstam and August Strindberg, respectively. The lists are updated hourly and recent changes are highlighted.

Please consider using this if you are in the mood for working on some Swedish profiles! (I've mentioned this earlier on the sweden-project mailing list.)

I did some work on Johan Thomae (Bure) Bureus  (Johannes Bureus in Wikipedia) but need some help by more experienced researchers.

Answer 1

Hey Greg, most people on this list are not yet connected. You could add that to your unconnected space page.

Per, you could add the tag "connectors" to your post to get the attention of the connectors to get those people connected to the Big Tree

Sure, done!

Answer 2

I made a start on Joe Hill https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/H%C3%A4gglund-25 with parents and siblings. The linked ballad on youtube gives more info and documents than i could ever write.

Thanks, I added his mother's father as well, noted that he actually was born Wendin before changing to Wennman, which I didn't see mentioned at a quick web search for Joe Hill's ancestors, so may be uncharted territory, but probably not.

Answer 3

There are also many well sourced profiles that are in need of a biography.
