Purpose

To simplify the cemetery section for all US Online Genealogy Records (OGR) pages. These sections are to list the biggest websites and state specific cemetery collections.

Task List

Instructions

1. Go to this sandbox where you will add a final list for each state's cemetery collections..

2. Go to the task list and click on the state you are working on. This link only goes to the state page. You must click on the blue button to get to the OGR page.

3. Once you are on the state OGR page you are working on, click on Edit Source at the top of the page.

4. Do a Ctrl + F and type in "cemetery" to find the cemetery section.

5. Copy the links under the cemetery header and paste it to the sandbox page under the correct state header.

6. Now copy the links below and paste them to the sandbox page below the links already there.

*''See [[STATE Cemeteries|STATE Cemeteries]] for a complete list of cemetery websites''
*[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial Name Search] at Findagrave.com
*[https://billiongraves.com/ Name Search] at Billiongraves.com
*[http://www.interment.net/us/al/index.htm Name Search] at Interment.net


7. Replace the STATE in the first bullet with the name of the state you are working on.,br>
8. Take out the old findagrave, billiongraves, and internment links from the list you brought over from the OGR page and use the new ones you just put on the page.

9. Review the other databases, if they appear to really cover all of Alabama, leave the links in the list under these first 4 bullets.

10. If the databases appear to only cover a portion of Alabama, cut the link and go to the state's cemetery page. If it's not on the cemetery table, add it to the correct spot on the table. (There really isn't a correct spot, just somewhere that is like the other links on the page.) Note: if there is a range of years in the database link, take it off the front and put it back with the title of the database so the links all match on the table.

11. If you aren't sure if the collection covers the whole state, put a couple of spaces between the new list and the questionable link. I'll review it later and make that decision.

12. Now save the sandbox page and go to the next state to repeat the process.
