Task Description[edit | edit source]
Add links to Find A Grave and other online cemetery records for each of the 29 counties in Utah.
Steps[edit | edit source]
| These steps are actually easy. Not being a professional "instruction writer," the following makes them look harder than they are. |
Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page under the "Cemeteries" heading[edit | edit source]
If there already something there for this county, make space for what you will be adding by simply moving that information further down from the "Cemeteries heading". We don't want to change it or remove it at this time.
Step 2: Copy and paste Cemetery blurb and begin Find A Grave[edit | edit source]
