Scope of Project
To build a single, validated and documented shared family tree for the Lanier family, from earliest origins to near modern times.
Overview
The Lanier were Protestants and left France to escape abuse and exploitation. They were Huguenots to London, and the records of the Huguenot Society of London have them well-recorded. Having been naturalized Englishmen for three generations, they are Huguenots to London, rather than Huguenots to America. LANIER descendants are eligible for Huguenot Society membership.

The Geni Master Profile
(See the project - Geni Master Profile best practices).
Names
Make sure the name fields of the Master Profiles include first name, middle name, last name, maiden name if known, otherwise blank, suffix for Sr., Jr., etc. In the display name field only add titles such as Gov. or Dr. preceding.
For example
FN Reuben MN (blank) LN Coffin MN (blank)
Display name is Captain Reuben Coffin
Places
The United States did not exist until 1789 and the United Kingdom was formed in 1707. Please be careful about using autocomplete. It is better to use the "place" field and type out the place name. Use place names such as England and South Carolina and spell out the country name with historical accuracy.
For example
Colonial America: Charleston, South Carolina
Overview tab
It makes it easier to read a profile if the "about me" information is filled out in this fashion:
- (vitals, summary)
- (parents)
- (marriages)
- (children)
- (weblinks)
- (biography)
- (notes)
- (references)
- (citations)
- example profile: Stephen Hopkins Mayflower Passenger
Media tab
- Future releases of the Geni Project module will create a dynamic library of downloadable media for profiles associated with the Project.
-- The media tab of the MP should be used for documentation files. Websites, biographies, census reports, image files -- the richer we make the profile, the more historically and genealogically accurate and meaningful it will be.
Sources tab
-- Adding a source validates the MP, and creates a "timeline" for each life represented by a profile. The more information we add, the more detailed and accurate.
-- Original source data includes: birth certificates, census reports, immigration records, ship rosters, obituaries, marriage licenses ....
Works Cited
- Citation data (MLA format is good) should be noted for each source. If someone else can't replicate research, it's not acceptable.
