***Priority 1 (likely already under "Websites" for each county) [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 17:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
**For each topic? | |||
***Priority 2 or 3 [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 17:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
**For selected specific records? (What criteria would be used for listing specific records?) | |||
***Sparingly, if at all. Criteria? Some topics do need specific FHLC sources mentioned, but it's hard to pinpoint the criteria right now. [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 17:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
**For every record under that topic? | |||
***Never this deep [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 17:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
