 ==== Birth  ====
 [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Experimental County#Birth|Birth topic]] on Experimental County page
 Timeline w/suggestions (substitute records) One visual look (overview) w/o scrolling Table for this.
 Date column, source location, source, suggestion column let them know what level we are taking them to: outside or elsewhere on our county page
+Summary of minutes 5/9/12:
+*Date or timeline concept giving suggestions based on birth years. Liked by everyone
+*Table concept OK'd. Jana and Liz will play with the columns and headings
+*The purposes of each VR section were discussed
+**1) Our first purpose: help them get a birth date/place, even when the best records (i.e. certificates) did not exist.
+**2) If they can't find it from the major sources, what do they do.
+**3) Then help them get other records that may provide more clues. (How do we move them toward other skills?)
+**4) Then help them know how to deal with clues. Not part of Utah project to write, but to Link only Analyze, see clues, etc. US and Utah VR pages have separate pages on how to use birth, death, marriage.
+*Create a page (or add to the state page) a link to alternative resources and be sure they are well explained in that area. Exceptions that affect a county should be explained within that county. That breakout page is a good place to explain anomalies about collections.
+**Refer to NY VR pages for examples to employ or modify
+**Add a link from Historical Records pages to Utah VR page.
+*We need a footnoting task description. Marilyn has much on this already and will email to Liz, Jana, Wilma.
+*Must-haves on the section:
+**Dates for each county: top of page, but also needed here. Intro statement: County formed in 1856, records start in 1892. (Added after meeting: but keep up their hope of finding something anyway)
+**Also need to tell where originals are. Detailed stuff needs to go at bottom of the table. Or in introductory paragraph before. Can even include the history of where the records are and were.
+**1905 statewide system began. Counties vary. in compliance for each county. At county level is most valuable.
