Hawkeye7, do you think Kate Starbird (granddaughter) and Margaret Starbird (d-i-l, wife of Edward), should link in here? Both legitimately notable, although in different contexts. (His sister Catherine, who wrote as Kaye Starbird, probably (a)isn't really notable enough as an author to get blue linked, and (b) will certainly get so soon, once the Overcoming Systemic Somethingorother Kabal gets wind of her.)

West Pointers aren't just born, they're in(ter?)bred!
Some of the prosopographics are needed, some are useful, and some are just bar-bet trivia, so I wasn't comfortable adding this without some discussion, since next thing someone else might add stuff about the Mayor of San Jose or Kustom Kars; at some point it goes too far afield. First cousins and grandkids are about as far as I'd add without an underlying pattern. Anmccaff (talk) 21:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
