Prayer: Liz
*Church records experience
*County pages, have a website area: enables people to search beyond what has been gathered. Point to wiki pages already describing some of the sites and methods.
**How can we put it where it won't be buried? Intro comments, here are more websites, many of the collections these sites have may already be referenced under specific topics on this page. Check this out, see what you can learn.
**This is high priority - higher than FS Historical, rather than moving on to USGenWeb or other sites.
Jana: beginners corner first
Wilma: Contact Joy for uploading images; finish task descrs for Church.
Liz: Cemeteries and give Wilma a couple to help with. Then next week? we can start posting to the counties.

**We three do many of the tasks
**Templates for topic blurbs (include link to state topic page)
**Jana will explore other sites for online items
***Some mixed up - court including court, land under probate, etc. Not easy to navigate some. It will be good for them to get direction.
**Digital collections: shall we also be sure each of these is under the county page?
**Much to present if we want to be thorough
**Many of the FamilySearch digital collections link right to descriptions.
***Jana will: Post on county if for that county. For others, go on the state page. For those state ones that should also go the county, let's make a template.
***Prep templates that do not require adaptation for all topics, and paste all to one county, then next county.
***Wilma will: template for Cemeteries - Beaver County. Teach Liz to make templates for the other counties.
***Liz will do cemeteries and adapt to counties
***Wilma will: start templates that don't need adapting for topics we won't actually cover in the project.
