About the Project

The Graham Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Graham name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Graham name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (Scotland Grahams), by time period (18th Century Grahams), or by topic (Graham DNA, Graham Occupations, Graham Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Categories

As this project grows categorizing profiles will be an important part of helping us stay organized. Please check the Graham Name Study Category page to see if a category exists. If a category does not exist for something you would like to track then feel free to create it. See Help:Category Creation and Removal

Head of Line

A sub-category named Category:Head of Line, Graham Name Study has been added to collect the earliest known ancestor in each line that is posted on WikiTree. You can help by adding these folks to the name study as you run across them OR removing this category from their profile when a parent is found. Then put this category on the newly found parent.

Locations

New category names should strive to be short and unique. That usually means it should follow the pattern "<country, state or providence>, Graham Name Study" or "<city or town>,<state or providence>, Graham Name Study". Australia, Ireland, USA, Canada, New Zealand, England and Scotland are already set up. The category should list it's parent category so that they roll up into each-other and we end up with a hierarchy like the following:

• Categories
  • Family
    • One Name Studies
      • Graham Name Study
        • USA, Graham Name Study
          • North Carolina, Graham Name Study
            • Rowan, North Carolina, Graham Name Study

Specific Record Collections

Specific record collection categories should roll up under the location in which they apply. See Category: 1850 US Census, South Carolina, Graham Name Study

One Name Study Sticker

There are two variations of the One Name Study Sticker that can be used on profiles that are included in a One Name Study.

To add this sticker to a profile included in the ONS, place the sticker code (see examples below) anywhere in the biography part of the profile. Usually you should put it next to the text describing the Sticker, but it should always be below the == Biography == heading and above the == Sources == heading.
