Mission

To collaboratively promote, advance, and improve the genealogical and historical research available on WikiTree about all persons who have inherited or adopted the surname Fuller.

Goals

1. To merge all duplicate profiles into the final lowest profile ID number. See Merging.
2. To find and properly cite sources for all unsourced profiles. See Sources
3. To establish the correct and documented identities of parents.
4. To write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies in proper WikiTree style, eliminating clutter caused by importing data from other genealogy websites or by imitating their style. See Biographies.
