Part B - Adding the subheadings[edit | edit source]
1. If any records are already added to the church section, determine which congregation to which the records belong.
2. Using size 5 heading, add the name of the congregation for a subheading, such as Baptist, Methodist or Society of Friends. If the record is multi-denominational or you cannot determine the congregation, add a heading called General. This heading should come before the other denonimations.
- Make a size 5 heading by typing 5 = signs before and after the heading.
- Example: =====General=====
3. Be sure each heading is on a separate line and before the text which applies to that congregation.
4. Arrange the congregation names in alphabetical order. This may require moving some text which is already on the page. Do as follows to move the text:
- a. While in wiki text, position your cursor in front of the text which needs moving.
- b. Left click and drag your cursor across the text to highlight the information which needs moving.
- c. Right click and select cut.
- d. Move your cursor under the correct heading or at the correct line on the page and hit enter on your keyboard to move to a new line.
- e. Right click and paste the moved information in its new position.
5. Do NOT add congregation headings if there is not information about that church.
6. Scroll nearly to the bottom of the page. Add a summary sentence in the Summary box saying something like, "Added church intro and headings".
7. Click on the box "Save Page". The task is complete.
8. Follow the directions in the Assignment Chart section below to report your completed task.
12. Save the page and exit. The task is complete.
Example of Completed Heading[edit | edit source]
Church records and the information they provide vary significantly depending on the denomination and the record keeper. They may contain information about members of the congregation, such as age, date of baptism, christening, or birth; marriage information and maiden names; and death date. For general information about Ohio denominations, view the Ohio Church Records wiki page.
