• Stick with just the project instructions and do not spend time looking, fixing, or updating anything else on the Town page

• If you don't understand something or have any questions, please reach out to me on Yammer

• Make sure you are logged into the FamilySearch.org while in the catalog as well as in the Wiki at all times

• Don't forget to add your name and date to every line of "Part Two" in the task list, so when you are finished we can complete the project for that state

• If there is other information in the Maps Section, put your new Map links at the very top above the older information. Make a notation on the task list
