Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Any variant of Driggers may be added to the study.

Task List

1. Add the category to each profile of your Dr*g*rs family.
   You can add the category code [[Category:Driggers Name Study]] or
   the One Name Study template {{One Name Study|name=Driggers}} (which will add the category automatically).
2. Once you have added your profiles to the project, please check the name index for duplicates.
   You might find the profiles easier to review in a table format.
   If you get an SDMS Server error, click OK, then look for the blue "Get Profiles" button in the left column and click it.
3. Check for unconnected Driggers and see if you can find the missing link
4. You can help with Unsourced Driggers (see our Sourcing Help section)
5. If you see a Dr*g*rs profile that says No Profile Manager, add the category
6. You could check to see if other categories could be added
   Look at the last column of the profile index table to see which categories are already on the profile.
   The secret to category success is look at the links on the page to see which is most accurate and click it.
   Repeat that process on each category page until there isn't a link to a better category.
   At the top of your last page, copy the heading "Category:name of category"
   Go back to the profile, type [[, paste the category name you copied, and type ]]
   1. Cemeteries
   2. Regions
   3. Military
   4. Other Categories
7. If you run across privacy protected profiles, you could copy and paste this message in comments, just add your name at the end:
   
   

   Hi,
   
   WikiTree now has a Driggers Name Study as part of the [[Project:One_Name_Studies|One Name Studies]]. Would you take a look at the [[Space:Driggers_Name_Study|Driggers Name Study]] page and consider adding the category or template codes to the first line of this profile? You can find them in the first item of the task list.
   
   There's no requirement but we'd love to have you join the project!
   
   Your name ~ Driggers Descendent

   
   
   The middle paragraph will look like this when you post the comment:

I am not the greatest at sourcing so this will be a learning experience for me also.
