1. Go to the county courthouse page (already created) using the link found on the county page under repository: courthouse. <br> | |||
2. Add the template <nowiki>{{NYCourts}}</nowiki> at the top of the page but under the breadcrumb trail. <br> | |||
3. Use Heading 3 to list the different courts or offices. Usually there will be three to locate: the County Clerk’s Office, the County Historian's office and the Surrogate's Court.<br> | |||
4. Locate each court or office and find their respective contact information (address, phone, email, etc.) This usually involves the County Clerk (deeds, marriages/divorces), the County Historian (a mixture of county records) and Surrogate's Court (probate). Use the link in the info box at the top of the county page to go to the county website. NOTE: sometimes you have to use other resources to find the information, such as a) http://www.nycourts.gov/litigants/courtguides/index.shtml b) Google the “[county] county clerk” or “[county] county historian” or “[county] surrogate's court.” Be creative! <br> | |||
5. Search for specific information regarding the years and records the court or office holds. Some websites give details and others do not. | |||
6. If the website does not give the specific information, use the ''County Courthouse Book'' by Elizabeth Bentley. Use this reference changing "ppp" to the correct page number:<br> | |||
::<nowiki><ref>Elizabeth Petty Bentley, ''County Courthouse Book,'' 3rd ed. (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Pub., 2009), ppp. {{WorldCat|328595204|disp=At various libraries (WorldCat)}}; {{FSC|1651099|item|disp=FS Library Book 973 D24bena 2009}}.</ref> </nowiki><br> | |||
<br> 7. You can also call the courthouse to clarify their holdings. <br> | |||
8. If you discover there are specific links leading to online indexes and/or records, you may wish to add a paragraph describing the record with its link and also place this information in the appropriate category on the County page. For example, Yates County, New York has indexes for wills and probate records so the following was added to the Courthouse page under “Surrogate’s Court” and also under “Probate” on the County page.<br> | |||
:Example: <br> | |||
