This space page was created in 2013 to store images of flags^[1] that could be used in templates, especially the Migrating Ancestor template. The list of images previously found on this page was edited down to reduce duplication between the above listed pages and this one. ~ Noland-165, 6 March 2022

To add a flag image to the Migrating Ancestor sticker (or the Nonmigrating Ancestor sticker), use the file name for the image. For example, adding Ireland for the origin country of the Migrating Ancestor sticker:

|origin = Ireland

|origin-flag = Ireland_Flags.png

Nae X asked if the date of immigration could be included in the template. It can! You just need to add "in year" after the destination country, for example:

{{Migrating Ancestor
| origin = France
| destination = Canada in 1665
| origin-flag = Flags.png
| destination-flag = Flags-1.png
}}

Results in

... ... ... migrated from France to Canada in 1665.
