Can we build John Hume's tree?

Don't do it unless you have his permission.

Mr. Hume is 82 years old with dementia, so I doubt that would happen. He's an internationally-known public figure and there's no reason we can't research his ancestors, the same way we do with everyone else.

He has stated that his surname comes from his Scottish great-grandfather, who was Presbyterian. That could be a way to connect him to the World Family Tree. He also has extensive Donegal roots.

Permission required of course. My uncle would know John well, and I believe married into the extended family, so I could ask for information from him, but again, only with the Hume family permission.

you should at least run it by the manager of the profile first...
