The project is looking great, but I really need help from everyone building out trees for all the people not yet on Geni (in plain type, not bold). Also, the ones in italics are in separate trees that need to be connected to the big tree.

Unable to help at this time as I am currently working my way through Dr. Rosenstein's book "The Unbroken Chain"

How to access contents of Galician celebrity list?
The names and page numbers are here, but I cannot access the contents. I will gladly enter birthdays if I can access info.

I have written to Rachel Juni, but email (rjuni@compuserve.com) on the page is no longer active

1. I tried to add Louis C.K. [link to his Wikipedia page] to the project, but for some reason the format isn't working.
2. Pati Jinich should be added to the project; however, she doesn't even currently have a Wikipedia page! . . . and I don't have the time to create one. Here are two links to get someone started: http://www.jwi.org/jw-mag/aspire/2-wtw/pati-jinich---women-to-watch... ; http://nbclatino.com/2013/05/08/what-am-i-patricia-jinich-on-being-...

Another person who ought to be on the list is Robert P. Kogod, who *does* have a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_P._Kogod . One required task with both Kogod and Jinich (and probably several other potential candidates for the project) is ascertaining their specific birth dates . . . unless someone already has these folks on their tree(s).

@Amy Schumer (who happens to be 1C1R of Sen. @Chuck Schumer) should be added to the project. However, I lack a Pro account, so I can't access her Geni page.

Susan B. Urban (Goldstein),

Amy Schumer has been added to project.

The Great Jewish Comic Jack Carter died today. I wanted to check his GENI file and the only reference in Celebrity Jews Birthdays is WIKI...there are Jack Carters on GENI but not this Jack Carter. I would like to add him but it's been awhile & I can't remember how.

Maurice Beck Hexter
Your entry for Maurice Beck Hexter is incorrect. He passed away on October 28 not October 15 as you show.

Thanks, Mitchell. Are you a relative?

Question: is the term "celebrity" defined as

* past or present favourable media or academic attention to a Jew

* * with or without a concomitant Geni profile ...

* every favourably known Jew who has a Wikipedia biography

* * with or without a concomitant Geni profile ...

* some other criterion?

I just created this profile: Sally Ann Lilienthal . Does she qualify for inclusion on this list?
She has a wikipedia and is on jwa, but I doubt if many people have heard of her.

Do these qualify? Both professors are certainly very famous in their respective fields.

Added them. Feel free to add people to the project. It's not hard. Just follow the format that works for everyone else on the page.

I just tried to add this person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Harlow_(musician) but he doesn't seem to have a geni profile and the rubric for adding a profile disappeared before I could share the information. Help?
