Biography
Jules Verne is Notable.
Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. He is best known for his adventure novels, and is sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction." Some of his most popular novels are Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. He is one of the most translated authors. Inspired by Jules Verne's, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea" New Jersey inventor Simon Lake II designed built the “Argonaut,” in 1897 the first submarine to operate extensively in the open sea. The first submarine that Simon's company built for the U.S. Navy was the "USS Seal". Jules Verne sent Simon Lake a telegram to congratulate him. You can see this message in the images section of Simon Lake's profile page.
Jules Gabriel Verne was born on 8 February 1828 on Île Feydeau, a small artificial island on the Loire River within the town of Nantes, in No. 4 Rue de Clisson, the house of his maternal grandmother Dame Sophie Allotte de la Fuÿe. His parents were Pierre Verne, an attorney originally from Provins, and Sophie Allote de la Fuÿe, a Nantes woman from a local family of navigators and shipowners, of distant Scottish descent. Brother Paul was born in 1829. Three sisters, Anna, Mathilde, and Marie, would follow in 1836, 1839, and 1842, respectively. He married Honorine Hebe du Fraysse de Viane Morel on 10 January 1857. In 1905, while ill with diabetes, Verne died at his home, 44 Boulevard Longueville (now Boulevard Jules-Verne).

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
