People Connected to Shropshire
People connected to the county of Shropshire can be categorised as follows -
Historical and Political people are accommodated by the project Historic Shropshire which covers the History of Shropshire's historical/political people. Some of these are also listed in the Famous people category.
Famous or Notable People of Shropshire For those people of note with connections to the county please visit the project Famous Shropshire People and add them to the listing there. Some of these connections are a little tenuous - counties like to lay claim to people of renown!
And this project -
Shropshire Family Heads
Please only add the earliest head of the family to the list of Shropshire Families on Geni below and link their profiles to the project. These should be male! Adding everyone with a Shropshire birthplace to the project would cause the project to be a little cluttered, so please restrict this to the earliest head of family!
How to add a link is explained in the attached document - Adding links to Geni profiles in projects.

Emigrants, People from Shropshire who went to the "New world" or elsewhere in the wider world and were early progenitors in those countries. Where the earliest ancestor is known please add them to the list of Shropshire family Heads on Geni" below if that was their roots, or to the appropriate county project which can be found easily in the Counties of the United Kingdom-England Project. Where the earliest known ancestor is the emigrant add them to the list below. In some cases if there is a project that covers them in detail please link the project - there is no point in duplicating the list.
