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 (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) 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.
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 "getting started with 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:


== England Pages to Update<br> ==
#log in
#click Edit
#input three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) in the 'sign up...' column (the third column below) across from the task you wish to work on (Do not type your name--the three tildes will automatically insert your username if you are logged in)


Many of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need updating.&nbsp; Scroll down the list to see a short list of articles that need to be created from scratch.&nbsp; You may add tasks you think are needed or add a note to one you think is not needed for England.  
'''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.
