Guidelines
- Check each source material’s FreeSpace page to see if the person has a profile created for them already. If so, only edit the existing profile. If not, volunteer for that profile.
- Begin building your research off the information provided in the source. This includes proper citations and information for the individual provided in the record. Be sure to add relationships (parents, children, siblings, etc) and properly cite those as well.
- Once finished, add their information to the FreeSpace profile for the corresponding source information (there may be multiple, for example, if they’re listed on multiple La Porte County Censuses). [Source FreeSpace profiles still need to be created and added to this Project].
