Migrating Ancestor Template

Use the directions below to add a quick visual reference to your ancestors' profiles to indicate their movements, whether they migrated from other countries or between different colonies (or states). See step 9 for information about a template for ancestors who never left the city or state where they were born.

To add a migrating ancestor template to a profile:

1. Click on the edit tab of this page and scroll down to the Migrating Ancestor section of the page.
2. Left click on the left beside the double brackets, hold down the left mouse button, and highlight all of the text down to the closing brackets. This will highlight the text you want to copy.
3. Next, right click on the highlighted text and click on "copy."
4. Go to the target profile, use the edit tab, scroll to the place where you want to add the template and click there.
5. Right click and select "paste." This will paste the template exactly as you see it here.
6. To customize the template for your target profile go to Flag Images to find different flags or go directly to State Flags.
7. Copy the file name of the flag you want to use, and paste it to the right of the = sign under origin and destination flags.
8. You can also go to the blank template , copy and paste it to your page, and add your customized information.
9. For ancestors who did NOT migrate, use the directions above to copy one of the variations of the Nonmigrating Ancestor template below:
