4. '''Add the dates.''' Copy them straight from the title. It is not necessary to look for dates if they are not in the title. Leave the dates blank, if that is the case. | |||
<br> | |||
EXAMPLE:<br> | |||
:::(with dates) <nowiki>* '''1850-1954''' {{RecordSearch|Title #|Title name}}(*) at FamilySearch — [[Name of Historical Records Page|How to Use this Collection]]; index only</nowiki> | |||

5. '''Leave the <nowiki>{{RecordSearch|</nowiki> as-is.''' | |||
6. Next add '''the title #.''' | |||
:* The title number is obtained from the URL line. As you read across the URL, it will start off with ''familysearch.org/search/catalog/#######''. | |||
::** The title number is the number immediately after the word '''catalog/''' | |||
::** Copy just the number from the URL line and place it where it says title #<br> | |||

'''THIS SET OF INSTRUCTIONS WILL TELL YOU HOW TO ADD INTERNET/GOOGLE LINKS.''' | |||

2. Look down through the listings and decide which ones to use by the following criteria: | |||
