Hello Profile Managers!

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.

Thanks!

Abby

Yes, it appears that I manage a few German notables that you may want access to (also Nipkow-1, Zuse-1). I can co-manage on all of these. I hope to complete my German inventors and discoverers project in the next few weeks as well.
