Instructions[edit | edit source]
1. Open the Task List, and add your name to the Name column for the parishes you want to sign up for.
2. Open the North Yorkshire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1937 collection on Ancestry.com.
- You do not have to be signed in to Ancestry to work on this project.
3. Locate the right-hand side of the collection page in the box called "Browse this collection".
4. Locate the dropdown for Parish.
5. Click the dropdown for Parish, and check if the parish from the task list appears in the dropdown list of parishes.
- a. If the parish does appear, put "Yes" in the In collection? column, and continue to step 6.
- b. If the parish does not appear, put "No" in the In collection? and in the Added to wiki page? columns of the task list, and continue on to the next parish.
6. Go to the parish wiki page using the link in the "Parish" column of the Task List.
7. Go to the Church of England heading , and click "Edit source".
8. Copy the following code:
[https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/62237/ 1700s-1900s]
9. Locate the following line of code in the parish table section under "Ancestry-North Yorkshire ($)" shown in yellow below (it is the first of two lines in a row that begin with "bgcolor="#ffffff"|").
- If the "Ancestry-North Yorkshire ($)" section of the table does not appear in your parish table, make a note in the "Notes" column of the task list, and move on to the next parish.
10. Replace the instance of '''-''' in that line with the code you copied in step 8.
The resulting code should look similar to this:
| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-North Yorkshire ($)
| bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| <center>[https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/62236/ 1800s-1900s] </center>
| bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| <center>'''-'''</center>
| bgcolor="#ffffff" | <center>[https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/62237/ 1700s-1900s]</center>
| bgcolor="#ffffff" | <center>'''-'''</center>
| bgcolor="#E8E8E8" | <center>'''-'''</center>
| bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| <center>'''-'''</center>
|-
11. Click "Show preview", and look at the final parish table. You should see the following new collection added in the Marriages for North Yorkshire (see yellow highlight in the image below)
