• The Oklahoma Land Rush Project is a Sub-Project of the Oklahoma Project

• For each person:
  • All duplicates merged into the final lowest profile ID number.
  • Final ID locked, marking the profile as project protected (must be done by one of the Project Leaders)
  • Template included on the page
  • All relevant categories are added
  • Parents are correct and documented
  • Biography is cleaned up, free of any GEDCOM junk, Ancestry trees, etc., and ideally has an actual written biography.
