- Description

- It assigns values to Property:Ancestry. This is a recursive property. The values are the country of birth of self plus those of ancestors.
- The template also writes a little sentence: Ancestors are from ...
- Syntax
- As this now automatic, there will be very little need for anyone to use it actively.
- Notes
- This template (formerly {{CatMigration}}) has become part of {{showfacts biography}} since being added to some pages; it should be deleted from pages that have that all-encompassing template if repetition is not wanted.
- Regrettably, the template sometimes gets the migration wrong. Not everyone born in one place migrated from that place, and not everyone who died in a place had migrated to it: in each case the event may have happened while the person or his or her mother was on holiday; and some people made major migrations twice in their lives, not a single migration from birthplace to death place. We have the capability of developing templates that allow contributors to specify origin and destination of actual migrations; it needs work, but it will cut out the above-mentioned errors when it is developed.
