FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks FHL Topics

Task Description[edit | edit source]
Add links to the FamilySearch Catalog for each topic of the 29 Utah counties.
This allows users to see whatever is available at the Family History Library under every topic for each Utah county, without having to update the Wiki when the Library acquired new items.
This also allows important items to be highlighted, rather than buried in endless lists of resources.
