Instructions

Step 1

1. On the Task List above, choose a county to work on, make sure to choose the PART 2 - FMP to tab at the bottom of the the sheet to ensure the information is being recorded in the correct part of the project.

• Put your name in the Contributor Name column(s) of the Task List. You can choose how many parishes you want to work on during each work period. This way multiple people can work on the same county at the same time without.

2. Choose a parish page (links are embedded in the Parish name).

3. Click on the Talk tab at the top left of the page.

**For every Wiki page - in this case, Acton, Cheshire Genealogy - there is an associated talk page that is used by contributors to discuss improvements about the Wiki page. In this project, we are using the Talk page as a sandbox to add content to the parish table before we move the completed table back to the Wiki page.**

We will be adding the correct years for the baptism, marriage, and burial indexes found on FindMyPast.

The code (FMP) we will be updating looks like:

This is what it looks like in the table:

Step 2

1. Go back to the task list and choose the FMP link that is next to the chosen parish.

2a. Scroll down to the parish you are currently working on underneath Buckinghamshire baptisms index.

For example:

The parish of Addington has baptism records from 1576 to 1817 in the FindMyPast collection.

2b. Go back to the code and change the year range on the first line of the FindMyPast code to match what the table says.

For example:

The parish of Addington would have the baptism years 1576-1817 instead of what is current listed, 1538-1917.

2d. Go to the code and change the year range on the second line of the FindMyPast code to match what the table says.
