What is this, a French/Bonapartist equivalent of Helga's endless stub genealogies? I know there's no shortage of space on the Wikipedia, but that's an argument for substantive articles about lots of things, not one-sentence items that tell us that someone we never heard of, the child of two other people we never heard of, appears to have done nothing in his entire life except die. Is 209.105.200.176 reading this? If so, can you please slow down, and expand these articles enough so that someone who starts out wondering "what happened to Napoleon's nephew?" won't end wondering the same thing. Vicki Rosenzweig

Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte is notable

He was one of the richest men in Maryland (IIRC, Harper's called him the second richest), the nephew of Emperor Napoleon, progenitor of the American branch of the Bonaparte line, friend to Winfield Scott and Robert E. Lee, sometime go-between and/or translator for the French and American governments (e.g., the de Shuys letter to Pierce), and, perhaps most importantly, the father of Charles Joseph Bonaparte.

Clearly, the article needs to be expanded. If I could find the paper I wrote back in college, I could write a properly-referenced article; unfortunately, the chances of that are slim, and I don't have immediate access to my original sources (most of which were copies of papers at the Maryland Historical Society, I think). --75.36.135.165 13:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

¶ Please, please, please, what did Jerome do for a living?? Did he only exist between a famous father and a famous son? Sussmanbern (talk) 19:48, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
