Working to improve the accuracy of reference
sources, both online and off!
Submit Information
If you've discovered errors in reference books,
please use the email links below to apprise us
of the errors. Understand that we must be able to
independently verify all errors. To avoid repetitious
submissions of preexisting error corrections, please
check errors in reference books to
ensure we haven't previously addressed the error.
If you've completed detailed biographical or genealogy
research on any celebrated individual, we encourage
you to share your findings with us. If you've done
exhaustive biographical or genealogy research and
discovered errors online or in reference
books, we implore you to share all your data with us.
Please supply supporting verification or documentation.
SUBMIT SOURCE DATA
If you have access to biographical source info
such as celebrity birth certificates, celebrity
death certificates, or marriage certificates
for individuals of accomplishment, please
consider sending us photocopies. Source
information on celebrated individuals in all
fields: actors, actresses, singers, songwriters,
composers, dancers, musicians, philosophers,
writers, producers, directors, artists, sports
personalities, royalty, scientists, explorers,
business leaders, politicians, and military
leaders, among others, is always welcome.
CORRECT OR REPUDIATE DATA about
yourself, a relative or client
If you're a prominent individual in one of
the above fields, and have discovered erroneous
biographical information about yourself in
print or online, and would like to see that
data corrected, and publicly repudiate the
flawed info, please provide source documentation
to substantiate your assertion by following
the submission guidelines below.
Likewise, if you're the relative, descendant
or representative of a notable personality,
and have come across incorrect biographical
information in print or online, and would
like to see that data eradicated, please
provide source information such as a copy
of the individual's birth certificate, death
certificate, marriage certificate, or other
documentation to authenticate your assertion.
Visit our correct biographical data about
yourself, a relative, ancestor or client page for complete information.
If you have an older collection of celebrity
obituary clippings, we encourage you to donate
them to our organization.
Photocopies of older (pre-1993) celebrity
obituaries, and detailed biographical
sketches, are also welcome. Please note
the following submission guidelines.
We appreciate all submissions
of biographical information on celebrated
individuals, but please refrain from offering
data that you "heard" or that someone
"remembers."
Source information taken from documents such
as birth certificates, or birth records such
as baptismal certificates, drivers license,
or death certificates is always preferred.
Please supply supporting verification or
documentation, if available.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We are pleased to accept submissions of
information for our database and Web site.
The information and corrections we receive
from users help make the internet a more
accurate, less frustrating experience for
all.
Please read the following guidelines for
submissions.
Simply email copies of any celebrity birth
certificates, death certificates, older
(pre-1993) celebrity obituaries, or detailed
biographical sketches you'd like to share
with us.
Firsthand biographical information and
source data, such as information taken
from birth certificates, baptismal certificates,
drivers license, and death certificates, is always
preferred over the more common, and far less
accurate second-hand info.
Please take a moment to carefully
proofread what you are submitting,
particularly the exact spelling of names
(people and places) and dates. Errors in
these areas are a constant headache for
everyone who does historical research.
Biographical submissions should include the
following (if possible):

known.

name at birth.

birth took place, and ADDRESS or NAME OF
HOSPITAL where the birth occurred.
(To ensure 100% accuracy, please be precise.
If the subject was born in a suburb, such
as Van Nuys or Glendora, please indicate
this. Do not generically list the birthplace
as Los Angeles, unless he/she was born
within L.A. city limits. Likewise, if the
subject was born in New York City, specify
the borough. Please, always try and
supply the address or name of hospital
where the birth occurred)
* Individual's DATE and precise TIME OF
DEATH (local time).
* CITY and STATE where the individual
died, along with the ADDRESS or NAME OF
HOSPITAL where the death occurred.
(Again, to ensure 100% accuracy, please
be precise. If the subject died in a
suburb, such as Alhambra, or Encino,
please indicate this. Do not generically
list the place of death as Los Angeles,
unless he/she died within L.A. city
limits. Likewise, if the subject died
in New York City, specify the borough.
Please, always try and supply
the address or name of hospital where
the death occurred)
* The individual's precise medical
CAUSE OF DEATH.
* NAMES of all SPOUSES, along with
