Personal life

[edit]

User:Sugarcube73 has added a lengthy genealogy of non-notable family members to the "personal life" secttion with this edit. WP:NOTGENEALOGY states: "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic". Perhaps the geological information could be moved to the talk page, per WP:IRRELEVANT. The input of other editors would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:44, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Shelby Groner had three sons who lived to be adults. All had significant and notable careers in healthcare. This story needs to be told, however it might be possible to do it another way other than in a fashion that looks like genealogy.
