Stickers

{{Appalachian Roots}}

{{Appalachian Roots|state=North Carolina}}

The state parameter is used to add text to the sticker, but it does not add a category (this sticker is for descendants of Appalachians; project categories are for Appalachians). See Template: Appalachian Roots for additional examples.

{{Appalachia Sticker}}

{{Appalachia Sticker|born|state=North Carolina}}

This sticker has born and lived/lives in options. The state parameter will add text to the sticker. It will also add the corresponding Appalachians category (there are 13 project categories for "people profiles" - see Category: Appalachians). You can add additional Appalachians categories manually (e.g., [[Category: Virginia Appalachians]]). The Appalachians categories are for people profiles only and should only be added to profiles for Appalachians who lived there when it was that state (in other words, do not add Category: West Virginia Appalachians to someone's profile if they died before 1 June 1863). Generally, the earliest North Carolina settlers who could have been in land that is today Appalachia would have been in Anson County (created in 1750). See the project's North Carolina Workspace for additional information.

See Template: Appalachia Sticker for details about "born in" and "lived in" (and "lives in") options.

{{North Carolina Sticker|text=was a resident of Alexander County.}}

See Template: North Carolina Sticker for details of parameters & use.
