FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England

Welcome to WikiProject England Join the discussion, ask questions, and share The Wiki currently has 150,329 articles in English

Scope

Articles about England and England research topics. Ideally a child WikiProject could be set-up for each English County which would focus on articles for county level resources and the parishes within each county. Until these are created these are within the scope of this project. Some articles cover both England and Wales and so would also fall within the scope of WikiProject Wales.

Child WikiProjects

• FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Dade Parish Registers
• FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject English parishes
