Sticker
To designate that you have Slavic ancestry, you can place this sticker on your profile. This template can be placed on the profile of any person with Slavic ancestors.
To add this sticker to a profile, simply copy and paste the following below the Biography headline: {{Slavic Roots Sticker}}. The sticker will automatically place the profile in Category:Slavic Roots.
Here are profiles and pages using the sticker.
If you have other Slavic ancestry, such as Russian, Czech, or Polish, you may wish to use their more specific stickers instead.
Project Goals
- Add 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.
- Add template to the profiles along with any relevant categories.
- Contact one of the project Leaders to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge.
- Profiles of family members are correct and documented.
- Profiles are linked to the greater WikiTree. Try to find the connection.
- Work on sources for unsourced profiles
- Work with the Global Cemeteries Project to ensure cemeteries in these countries/areas are photographed and records added to WikiTree.
To-Do List
- Identify profiles and tag them with appropriate categories
- Spread the word to others with Slavic heritage or interest in the area
- Identify people who can help with documents or direct research
- Establish project pages for other categories under the Slavic umbrella
