The template is {{United States|sub-project=Ohio}} which will give you:

- Deceased persons {{Ohio Sticker}}
... ... ... was an Ohioan.
- Living Persons {{Ohio Sticker|living=y}} ... ... ... is an Ohioan.
Goals
The overall goals of the US History Project are to create and develop profiles on WikiTree for those who lived in the state of Ohio. To meet these goals:
- Add Ohio-related profiles, checking for existing profiles to avoid duplication. If any duplicate profiles exist, request merges, starting with the oldest generation.
- If profiles were loaded by GEDCOM, use WikiTree Styles and Standards to clean up residue and broken links.
- Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources.
- Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies.
- Make sure profiles of all family members are correct and documented.
- Profiles need to be linked to the greater WikiTree. Try to find the connection.
List of Things to Do
- Need space pages created and developed for Ohio counties and linked to this page. Would you like to lead a county project?
- If you have any Ohio state resources that you are willing to do lookups, please add them to the Ohio Resources Page.
- If you live in Ohio, please consider adding Catalog: Ohio Research Assistance to your Wikitree profile page.
Ongoing List of Things to Do
- Cemeteries in Ohio need to be photographed, and the categories added to profiles on WikiTree. See the Ohio Cemeteries Team
- Add profiles for those who obtained land grants and homesteaded in Ohio. See the Homesteaders Project
- Help develop the Native Americans Project with information about Ohio state tribes.
- Work on Ohio's unconnected and unsourced profiles.
- Create new profiles for people of Ohio who are documented in a family member's profile, but might not have their own profiles yet. See Needs Profiles Created
- Work on Suggestions for profiles from Ohio, as reported by the Data Doctors Project.
- Add profiles for the men who died in World War I, serving from Ohio in the Great War project and for the Roll of Honor project.
