Hello guys,
This is a heads-up which gives us 14 months to work things out :-)
Indeed, next year in October, it's the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.
An article in April suggests that they're still digging for the common graves where the corpses were thrown. No kidding. Except for prisoners-for-ransom (I saw some lists for that), it's safe to say that virtually all 6,000 killed were thrown in common graves (only a handful of nobles ended up in nearby churches.

This article suggests that they're using advanced technologies to try and identify more graves.
I think Agincourt will draw a lot of attention next year, so perhaps it would make sense to re-activate and re-orient this project? By re-orienting, I mean to try and compile lists that go beyond what we have today?
Personally, by working a lot through medieval French genealogies, I very often come across a 25/10/1415 death date, which I then record in the profile. However, I doubt that Geni search will be of much help to compile a list from there.
Let's discuss how we could approach this in a systematic manner?
Cheers!
