Goals
The goal of this project is to gather people together to collaborate on Mexican profiles in order to increase their presence on WikiTree and ensure that they can be of the best standard possible. For each profile we will strive to:
- Make sure that dates and places are as complete and accurate as possible. This includes using historical location names.
- Improve the biography in order to honor that ancestor.
- Locate and add all available sources.
- Create a bilingual profile so that it can be read in Spanish and English.
- If we don't know Spanish that would improve the profile or determine all facts in a record, we will categorize it to get assistance.
Guidelines and Resources
