Tips: Helpful information to include for people are full name(s) with variant spellings, dates or time periods, and their place of residence. Be as specific as you can regarding the time period you’re asking about (e.g. the 1950s). Include the names of any people, businesses, places or events that relate to your question as this is also very helpful.
