• Research each potential profile to prove the ancestor arrived in Jamestown
• Post the references for the ships and any other sources you find.
• People not found on WikiTree will need a profile written with references.
• List sources to profiles to validate them and familial relationships, with links to online sources.

• Add appropriate ship, sailing date category to each profile. (In category include ship name, date sailed)
• Request from a leader, to project protect the profiles if needed.

Tasks

1. Check profiles with {{US Southern Colonist Sticker}} and add |Jamestown for Jamestown settlers and officials (up to and including those in the 1624/25 Jamestown muster). Adding the switch adds the category Jamestown Colonists. Liz working on this, 27 August 2020; feel free to help!
2. Create new pages, for the chart, another for history and third to hold the ship and year categories.
3. Sources are important, need team member to double check all sources are viable.
4. Team member to Scan WikiTree for any men or women who have been created.
5. Profile creation, with sources to prove the person actually reached here by a ship on a date when the ship sailed.
6. Quality Assurance (QA) for the Categories put on profiles. More explanation later.

Tasks for sub-groups:

• Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors: There are over 1000 settlers and officials recognized by the Jamestowne Society as a "Qualifying Ancestor" (meaning a descendant of that ancestor has been accepted into the Society). Tasks related to these profiles include
  1. Identifying their profiles - see this list (which includes WikiTree IDs of those whose profiles have been found). The Society's list is here.
  2. Adding the {{Jamestowne Society Ancestor Sticker}} and supporting text (see details here).
  3. Improving their profiles.
  4. Monitoring Category: Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestors. The sticker adds the profile to this category, but some have been adding erroneously. You can use this app to search for your own ancestors who are in the category.

• Ancient Planters of Virginia...
