General WikiTree Resources
- Editing Tips This page shows basic markup that can be used on WikiTree profiles and Space pages. Please remember not to use tables on individual profiles.
- Name Fields Help This page only includes style rules that have been agreed-upon by the community for all of WikiTree. For pre-1700 profiles and some others you also need to consult the more particular rules developed by the project that covers the specific time period and location. See the Name Field Guidelines directory.
- WikiTree AGC This addon is to clean up gedcom 'clutter' once we've connected to existing profiles. It is awesome at cleaning up the gedcoms and putting the source information together.
- WikiTree BEE This addon is great for a lot of things, but the main help is the 'auto-bio' button that it puts on the profiles. This will give you basic narrative you can add to. There is a WikiTree BEE extension available for Chrome and Firefox users.
Honduras Resources
Honduras is the second-largest country in Central America, with a population of nearly ten million people. In Mesoamerican times it was part of the Mayan empire. Later, the Spanish colonial enterprise brought European settlers, enslaved Africans, and both communities mixed with the indigenous Amerindian communities, particularly the Lenca people. European settlers also brought the Spanish and English languages to Honduras, as well as Christianity. In modern days, Honduras is a nation with a democratic unitary type of government. Spanish is the national language though there are still communities where indigenous languages are spoken. Most people are Roman Catholics, though various Protestant churches are growing quickly.
Honduras es el segundo país más grande de América Central, con una población de casi diez millones de personas. En la época mesoamericana formó parte del imperio maya. Más tarde, la empresa colonial española trajo colonos europeos, africanos esclavizados y ambas comunidades se mezclaron con las comunidades indígenas amerindias, particularmente el pueblo Lenca. Los colonos europeos también trajeron los idiomas español e inglés a Honduras, así como el cristianismo. En la actualidad, Honduras es una nación con un tipo de gobierno democrático unitario. El español es el idioma nacional, aunque todavía hay comunidades donde se hablan lenguas indígenas. La mayoría de las personas son católicas romanas, aunque varias iglesias protestantes están creciendo rápidamente.
There are a few things that are important to know about Honduras, in order to be sure that the resources you find reflect the correct person. Some of these things are standard genealogical practices, and others are specific to Honduras and are the purpose of this page.
