I am certainly OK with merger with other Taft articles, but may not have too much to add in the references. The best source is the autobiography of Alfonso Taft. Some of it is local history and not too sure of all their original sources. Thanks.

Just should anyone look here and not have located him on the tree in the article: William Howard Taft II was president William Howard Taft (I)'s nephew, being son of his younger brother Henry Waters Taft (1859-1945). — Preceding

Pronunciation
How is the name Taft pronounced? What
lexical set is its vowel? Is it a TRAP vowel, making it /tæft/ in both England and North America? Or is it a BATH vowel, making it /tɑːft/ in England? -

Prominent in computer science and programming languages (he has invented one called ParaSail), and a very decent chap indeed. As I understand it, he is a member of the Taft dynasty, but not mentioned here at all.

Family tree - no sources
I removed the large family tree section
here because:
There are no sources at all for this section
The section was tagged as needing sources in 2017, but there hasn't been any work on it since then
It looks like a personal genealogy web page rather than an encyclopedia article with
reliable sources.
There is a question of whether or not this is proper information for an encyclopedia, particularly for so many people who are not
notable.
The list had a number of notable people (those with links). It would take awhile, but it would be nice to at least get the notable people in the article. Is someone interested in helping to find
Reliable sources for a condensed list with them?–
