Tasks

If you've put up all of the Millers in your family (or at least all the ones you've found so far), and are looking for something else to do, here are some tasks that you might be willing to help with:

1. Biographies:
   • We need to make sure that each Miller on WikiTree has a narrative biography containing all the genealogically relevant facts about them (birth, marriage, and death at the very least). For information on biographies, see the Biographies help page.
2. Categories:
   • We need to make sure that each Miller on WikiTree has the appropriate categories applied to their profile. For information on categories, see the Categorization help page and the Categorization Project.
3. Sourcing:
   • We need to have sources for all the profiles on WikiTree. Specifically, we need at least one (and preferably more) sources added for all the Unsourced Miller profiles on WikiTree. (This can count towards the Sourcerers Challenge if you're feeling competitive.) For information on sourcing profiles, see the Sources help page and the Sourcerers Project.
     • Progress: 94,432/96,260¹ profiles = 96%
4. Connecting:
   • We need to connect all the Unconnected Miller profiles on WikiTree. (This can count towards the Connectors Challenge if you're feeling competitive.) For information on connecting profiles, see the Connectors Project.
     • Progress: 83,159/96,260 profiles = 86.4%
5. Millers in Wikipedia:
   • We need to make sure that all deceased Millers with Wikipedia entries have profiles on WikiTree, and are sourced and connected to the main tree.
     • Progress:
       • added: 74/242¹ profiles = 30.6%
       • sourced: 57/74 profiles = 77%
       • average number of primary sources = 0.5
       • connected: 50/74 profiles = 67.6%

1. Millers on ThePeerage.com:
   • We need to make sure that all deceased Millers with Wikipedia entries have profiles on WikiTree, and are sourced and connected to the main tree.
     • Progress:
       • added: 57/175⁴ profiles = 32.6%
       • sourced: 38/57 profiles = 66.7%
       • average number of primary sources = 1.5
       • connected: 54/57 profiles = 94.7%

Footnotes

1. This number is very preliminary, and is derived by taking 362 Millers with given names starting with the letters A through J listed on Wikipedia, and subtracting 28 entries where Miller is not their Last Name At Birth, 14 fictional characters, and 78 living Millers.
2. "Sources?" asks how many primary source(s) (birth, christening, census, military, marriage, death, or burial records) are on this profile, up to a maximum value of three. If you can find another source for a notable Miller who has less than three primary sources, please add it to that profile (then edit this page to put the new value in that cell).
3. "Connected?" asks whether this person's profile has been connected to the main tree. If you see links at the bottom of the profile listing how many degrees that person is from the example profiles of the week, then their profile is connected to the main tree. (If so, please edit this page to put "Yes" in that cell.)
4. This number is very preliminary, and is derived by taking 342 Millers with given names starting with the letters A through E listed on ThePeerage.com, and subtracting 27 duplicate entries, 67 entries where Miller is not their Last Name At Birth, and 100 living Millers.
