Goals

The overall goals of the United States Project are to create and develop profiles on WikiTree for those who lived in the state of South Dakota. To meet these goals:

1. Add South Dakota-related profiles, checking for existing profiles to avoid duplication. If any duplicate profiles exist, request merges, starting with the oldest generation.
2. If profiles were loaded by GEDCOM, use WikiTree Styles and Standards to clean up residue and broken links.
3. Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources.
4. Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies.
5. Make sure profiles of all family members are correct and documented.
6. Profiles need to be linked to the greater WikiTree. Try to find the connection.

List of Things to Do

1. Need space pages created and developed for South Dakota counties and linked to this page. Would you like to lead a county project?
2. If you have any South Dakota state resources that you are willing to do lookups, please add them to the South Dakota Resources Page.
3. If you live in South Dakota, please consider adding Catalog: South Dakota Research Assistance to your Wikitree profile page.

Ongoing List of Things to Do

1. Cemeteries in South Dakota need to be photographed and the categories added to profiles on WikiTree. See the South Dakota Cemeteries Project
2. Add profiles for those who obtained land grants and homesteaded in South Dakota. See the Homesteaders Project
3. Help develop the Native Americans Project with information about South Dakota state tribes.
4. Work on South Dakota's unconnected and unsourced profiles.
5. Create new profiles for people of South Dakota who are documented in a family member's profile, but might not have their own profiles yet. See Needs Profiles Created
6. Work on Suggestions for profiles from South Dakota, as reported by the Data Doctors Project.
7. Add profiles for the men who died in World War I, serving from South Dakota in the Great War project and for the Roll of Honor project.
