US Southern Colonies Project Stickers

Please note that if you are adding a sticker to a profile other than your own, WikiTree guidelines call for no more than 5 stickers and note that 3 is better (see Help:Stickers). Descendant stickers are primarily intended for use on the profiles of active WikiTree members, but can be placed on any profile to show a link to ancestors.

Note: Information about the project box for the US Southern Colonies Project can be found on the US Southern Colonist template page.

Southern Colonist Stickers

... ... ... was a Virginia colonist.

Template:US Southern Colonist Sticker for profiles of Southern colonists not managed by the project. Adding a colony, to make it a colony-specific sticker, is required.

{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Virginia}}

The sticker can be used to add project maintenance categories using the needs parameter, just as it is with the project box (which also requires a colony to be added). For example:

{{US Southern Colonist|Virginia|needs=Sources}} << project box
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Virginia|needs=Sources}} << sticker

... ... ... was a Carolina colonist.

The colony-specific stickers, such as the Virginia and Carolina sticker, can be added to profiles of Southern colonists whether or not they are managed by the project. To create a colony-specific sticker, add the colony to the project sticker:

{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Carolina}} (to 1712)
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Georgia}}
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Maryland}}
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|North Carolina}} (1712-1776)
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|South Carolina}} (1712-1776)
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Virginia}} (generally, 1625-1776)
{{US Southern Colonist Sticker|Jamestown}} (1606-1625)

See also: Notes on Timeframes.

The sticker adds the corresponding colony's Colonists category; without the colony parameter, it adds the category US Southern Colonists (as does the project box). It will also add project maintenance categories based on the needs parameter.

See the template page for details.

Descendant Sticker

Descendant of a Southern Colonist.

Template:Descendant for descendants of a Southern colonist (example uses the project account, WikiTree-24). Descendant stickers are primarily intended for use on the profiles of active WikiTree members, but can be placed on any profile to show a link to ancestors (considering WikiTree guidelines and provided other profile managers do not object).

{{Descendant|id=[[WikiTree-ID|Name of the Southern Colonist]]}}

The sticker does not add a category.

Some Images for Migrating Ancestor Stickers

Wikipedia lists flags for the colonies as being the Colonial Red Ensign from 1707 to the Revolution. The flags for 1606-1707 are shown as the Union Jack and the Scottish Union Jack, or the flag of England (the Cross of Saint George). See also WikiTree's pages for Flags of Colonial America (which includes some flags used during the Revolution), USA Flags (1775-present), US State Flag Images, and North American Flag Images. For countries other than England, see Template:Country Flag/Space:Country Flags and links provided on the template page for the Migrating Ancestor sticker, including Space:Flags.
