Surprisingly, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famous author of The Little Prince, did not have a Wikitree profile until recently.
He now has one, but it is bare-bones with two biography stubs in English and French. I'm asking for your help to improve his profile and give him a biography worthy of his accomplishments (I'm really not good at writing anything beyond basic genealogic facts):
- as an author (The Little Prince has been translated in 300 languages and dialects, and wrote a few other fine books)
- as an aviator, (a successful commercial pilote, he worked airmail routes over three continents)
- as a resistant: he was on a reconnaissance mission when he disappeared over the Mediterranean and has Mort pour la France status.
He was also an aristocrat, though only distantly related to the head of the Saint-Exupéry family. The Saint-Exupéry family has been traced to the 13th century.
Can you help add some life to Antoine's biography (I would gladly translate in French), find categories where he might fit, perhaps add family members to help connect him ? Please post here ! We would love to see many French Roots volunteers participate.
Remember, if you wish to add family members, to check that the names are correct and conform to Euro Aristo naming standards (please ask if in doubt!)
Thank you !
