Part 1: Add Sentence Above Map

1. On the Department page, Copy and paste this sentence right above the map - but still under the "Municipalities" heading.

The map below is of municipality boundaries as of 2009. (As of a law in 2009, the Uruguayan departments have been subdivided into municipalities.) Researching at municipal level before that time may not be relevant to your research.

Part 2: Add Parish Records Collection

2. Copy and paste the following code under the "Parish Records" heading for all of the Department pages as well as the Municipality pages.

*[https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1062787?availability=Family%20History%20Library Transcripción de registros parroquiales, ca. 1791-1880] - browse images, partial coverage; use the image indexes (''indices'') to see the volume number (''tomo''), page number (''foja''), and act (''acta'') that will be needed to navigate the rest of the digitized microfilm.

Part 3: Add Civil Registration Collection

3. Copy and paste the following code under the "Civil Registration" heading for all of the Department pages as well as the Municipality pages.

*[https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1143208?availability=Family%20History%20Library Indice nacional alfabético de los libros de nacimientos, matrimonios y defunciones, 1900-1937] - index and browsable images
*[https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/738525?availability=Family%20History%20Library Inventario de los libros de nacimientos, matrimonios y defunciones, 1879-1929] - browsable images

Part 4: Add Department Collections to Municipalities

Collections for Parish Records, Civil Registration, etc. on the Department level are often not included on the Municipality pages, even though they cover the municipalities. We need to add those collections to the Municipality pages as well.

4. Copy any content under the "Civil Registration", "Parish Records", and "Census" headings on the Department pages, and paste any content into the respective headings onto the Municipality pages for that Department.

• NOTE: Occasionally on the Department page, one or more of those headings will be blank, or will state that there are no online records. In that case, you do not have to worry about copying that content onto the Municipality pages.
