don't miss Migrating Ancestor templates

Question

I just added a Migrating Ancestor template to a profile in the New Netherland Settlers project. It had been a while since I'd done one, and I was surprised how hard it was for me to find the information.

For New Netherland Settlers, see http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Migration_to_New_Netherland

That page has templates tailored from the one Lianne created, which is at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Migrating_Ancestor .

See an example on Jan Joosten's page - http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Meteren-8 .

Cheers, Liz

Thanks Liz.  I've added your work to a FreeSpace Profile: "irish Potato Famine Migration" (since several million Irish folks came to the US and Canada due to its effects).

Answer 1

I like it but the flag for Belgium is incorrect. See http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Moret-2

Should be a vertical tricolour of black, yellow, and red.

Also, depending on when the person immigrated couldn't the flag for that country could change? 

Comments

yes, flags change. for the New Netherland Settlers, we chose the Old Dutch Flag

ah - Eugene. I just went to your "see" profile and I now see the problem.  If you can send me a gif/png/jpg of the flag, I can fix that for you (if I don't find one first :)

Cheers, Liz

I couldn't fix it for you, as it's not an open profile, but I posted what you need to change. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Cheers, Liz

Answer 2

I just added a flag for Belgium. In the template, you have to change both the country name and the image, so to show a migration from Belgium to Canada, you'd need to change two lines - "origin = Belgium" and "origin-flag = Flags-1.jpg"
will show the Belgium flag and "This person migrated from Belgium..."

Eugene, let me know if the change doesn't fix it.

Cheers,
Liz
