Project Goals

The goal of this project is to

  • Create new family profiles for people born in Kenya
  • Create new profiles for Kenyan notables and keep a list of these on this page
  • To collect in one place information and resources to assist in building and documenting Kenyan Genealogies.
  • To bring together WikiTreers interested in connecting Kenyan families to the Global Family Tree.
  • To make every Kenyan profile the best it can be.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

  • Create profiles for families born in Kenya.
  • Identify profiles to be managed by the project
  • Work on unsourced Kenyan profiles
  • Work on unconnected Kenyan profiles

Project Sticker

If a person was born in Kenya, please use the sticker code: {{Kenya Sticker}} which gives you:
Kenya Sticker Native
... ... ... was born in Kenya

For descendants of people born in Kenya, you could use either {{African Ancestry}}

which gives you
Africa Project
... ... ... has African ancestry.

or

{{Heritage Sticker
|roots=Kenyan
|image= African_Flags-25.png
|imagetext= Flag of Kenya
}}

Which gives you

Flag of Kenya
... has Kenyan roots.

Kenya Notables

to be added

I am related to more than 700 Kenyans in my tree. Most are living, so I don't know how useful this would be.

I also have book about an unrelated family written by Njũgũna Njao, "Mbarĩ ya Mũcaĩ family tree (1895–2005)" (Nairobi, n.d.), which might be worth transcribing.

Hi Paul, you don't know how useful what will be? Can you explain so I can help. Emma
Tx Emma. Profiles of the living would be hidden & therefore unavailable, I assume.

Hi Paul, At WikiTree, we use the modern flag for things such as stickers because it's impossible to visually represent every person during the time they were born. Flags change constantly over time, so in many cases, we'd have to have multiple stickers and people would have to figure out which sticker to use for each profile. The purpose of the "born in" or "ancestry" stickers is to help people show pride in their ancestry. Emma
