Is there a project that covers these pre-1700 people?

Question

I want to contribute to the deep genealogy on our shared tree. Here are people I can add, along with dates and locations:

• Nicolas Saint-Eve, born 1681 in Givrycourt, Moselle, Lorraine, France, died 19 Jan 1741/42 in Munster, Moselle, Lorraine, France.
• Nicolas married 24 Nov 1711 (or 4 Nov 1711) in Munster, Francoise Duverge, born abt 1685 in Givrycourt, died there 26 Jan 1744/45.
• Nicolas and Francoise had seven children:

Marie Salome, Marie Francoise, Nicolas, Claudius, Jeanne, Louis, Antoine.

Here are the sources I am using:

• Research notes.

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi Judy,

before adding those profiles, I suggest starting from Jean Saint-Êve and adding sources, going back in time step by step to ensure everything is correct - at the moment none of his ancestors are sourced. Primary sources for this area can be found at Archives départementales de la Moselle. For instance, Jean's birth record is here: Archives départementales de la Moselle, registres d'état-civil de Munster, NMD 1793-1829, cote 9NUM/498EC1, image 632/691, top right. It gives his exact birth date (31 Jul 1826, as on the profile but slightly different from what is on the tombstone) and the name, age and occupation of his parents.

Hi Judy,

Since you have signed the Honor Code and done the Pre-1700 test, you can proceed with adding those profiles.

By the way, the source link you provided doesn't show any sources for those profiles, it is the Help page.

For a pre-1700 profile, you need sources which are much more expanded than just 'Research notes'.  Here is an example from FamilySearch:
"England and Wales Census, 1901," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9ND-H56 : 20 May 2019), Albert E Souray in household of William Souray, Brentwood, Essex, England, United Kingdom; from "1901 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing Brentwood subdistrict, PRO RG 13, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

In case you're appalled at the wealth of detail you need - FamilySearch have ready-made citations for you that you only need to copy-and-paste.
