  • Birth templates, Utah State Archives, etc.
    • Can we have Liz proceed with birth area for all counties?
    • Just the state archive part or the entire "Since 1897" piece?
      • Liz went to BYU library and looked at every film. There are differences as some DO give the names of the children.
    • What about the other state archive holdings? Liz or prepare a project description?
  • Pattern page for Church Records -- Wilma
  • Funeral homes -- the bad news from Lois, plans for tomorrow's meeting
    • We will make further plans, but do they have
    • Strategy: pick a county - check death records for that county and look for names of funeral homes , then contact funeral director about that info.
    • Liz does Washington, Jana does Davis County.
  • Sandy UGA Conference -- What shall we recruit with now?
    • Still funeral homes? Remove. Can still do it at last minute
    • Public libraries?
    • Gather names of willing people, include a date for training re: whatever tasks were suggesting
    • Liz/Jana suggestions?
      • Let's have both avenues ready: training for gathering, email info to contact person to enter it; or if you prefer to put it in yourself, contact x person for training.
    • Requests for images of various types of Utah records? (Baby books, Funeral Programs, etc.?)
  • Utah page: request from the Thursday meeting group that we revamp it to interest and guide less experienced researchers. See England page for some ideas. -- Jana
    • What do we name this "sandbox" page? User:JanaStokes/Sandbox Utah
    • Shall we open it to someone else to do, or have us work on it with discussions? There is a difference when someone is writing it as opposed to a group putting it together
      • Painstakingly slow, but in the end it is just sooo good.
      • table at top is one suggestion
  • Death-related records page: Possible format at WikiHow
