In honor of Father’s Day, and to highlight our countries theme this week, here is a list of “Fathers of their Nations,” adapted from Wikipedia. The left column in the table lists the “fathers” with links to biographical info, and the right column has links to the corresponding country pages in The Family History Guide. Note: Wikipedia entries that specify a group of people rather than one or two individuals are omitted here.<\/p>\n
