There is significant overlap between the categories of data that I have started on this site. Sometimes it seems natural to combine biographies of people in the same family. So I have a biography page for each surname. However, this might be better on the page for Specific Family Stories. Also, potraits and skethches of people and their residences might be approprite on their biographies, or on the Photos page.
