Finding Appalachians in WikiTree

Categories can help you find a particular profile. If the profile of the person you're looking for has been categorized as an Appalachian and you have an idea of where and when they might have lived, the links in the following table could help you find their profile.

Where

The {{Appalachia Sticker}} can be added to profiles of Appalachians. The "base" sticker (just shown) does not add the profile to any category but using a state parameter does (see this page for details about the sticker's parameters). Using the state parameter will automatically add the profile to the appropriate subcategory of Category: Appalachians. Subcategories can also be added manually (for example, adding [[Category: West Virginia Appalachians]] to a profile will add it to Category: West Virginia Appalachians). Since several of the subcategories have thousands of profiles, it is helpful to search by century. The following table has by-century links for all of the state-level Appalachians categories. As of 20 April 2023, the by-century links for each state can also be found on the state-level Appalachians categories (listed at Category: Appalachians), along with details of "when".

When

The second column in the following table shows the date that the state was admitted to the union (according to Wikipedia) or "17th Century" if the state had been a colony (regardless of when the colony was first settled). The WikiTree+ search looks for profiles in the category with a birth year in the datafield that fits the century, so there may be search results in a century prior to statehood. For example, someone born in 1793 (the 18th century) may have lived in West Virginia, which was admitted to the union in 1863 (the 19th century). In addition, some areas were recognized territories before being admitted as a state.

The 16th century is not listed. Although the earliest colonists were born in the 1500s, the westward spread of settlers into the area known today as Appalachia was undertaken by later generations.
