Join the discussion, ask questions, and share

The Wiki currently has 103,319 articles in English

Scope[edit | edit source]

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.

Tasks[edit | edit source]

-Welcome to the England barn raising page! A wiki barn raising is a short, focused community effort to create or revise content relating to a single topic such as "genealogical research in England." The following tasks need to be accomplished during the England barn raising in February 2009. Please volunteer to complete one or more tasks by adding your name to this list. To add your name, log in, click Edit, insert three tildes ([[User:Alan|Alanm]]) in the 'sign up...' column (the third column below) across from the task you wish to help out on, go down to the bottom of the editing page, and click 'Save Page', to save the page. '''More than one person may sign up to work on a given task'''. That way, those that sign up for a task can also communicate with each other on what they are doing. <br>
