This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.
Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc

Profiles
To add your Riker / Ryker profile to the study, please ADD one or more of these categories to your RYKER ancestors, descendants, siblings, and cousins.
You can add one of the categories directly or you can add the One Name Study template (which will add the category automatically) like this:
{{One Name Study | name = Ryker| category = Johnson County, Indiana, Ryker Name Study}}
or
{{One Name Study | name = Ryker| category = Indiana, Ryker Name Study}}
or
{{One Name Study | name = Ryker}}
which will look like this
To add a second category, you will need to add the category manually like this:
| ... | [[Category:Ryker Name Study]] |
| If you know the state and county, ... | [[Category:<county name>, <state name>, Ryker Name Study]] |
| If you know only the state, ... | [[Category:<state name>, Ryker Name Study]] |
| If you know only the country, ... | [[Category:<country name>, Ryker Name Study]] |

I also note that there is not a westward movement page for Washington...the are a few there.
Hope to learn lots from all of you! I am not currently an ancestry subscriber, what's the easiest way to transfer sources?

I have been working on another part of my tree(s) and have not been giving the Ryker profiles as much attention. I had intended to return and start adding more of Gerardus Jr's children and grandchildren. Thank you for adding your branch.
Add what you can. Source everything you can. Mark what still needs sources. Maybe some day we can get it all in here with proper sources. There is so much to do.
