Instructions

Part 1: Task List and Talk Page

1. Choose a Task List above to work on.

• Put your name in the Contributor Name column(s) of the Task List. You can choose one or more columns you do not have to choose all of the columns. This way multiple people may work on the same county at the same time.

2. Choose a parish page (links are embedded in the Parish name).

3. Click on the Talk tab at the top left of the page.

**For every Wiki page - in this case, Acton, Cheshire Genealogy - there is an associated talk page that is used by contributors to discuss improvements about the Wiki page. In this project, we are using the Talk page as a sandbox to add content to the parish table before we move the completed table back to the Wiki page.**

4. We will be adding the NBI option into the new parish table on the Talk page.

Example of a parish table with NBI code:

Notice that NBI is between FMP records and BOYD records

Example of a parish table we will be working with:

Notice there is nothing between FMP records and BOYD records

This is the space where we will be adding the NBI codes.

5. Open edit source tab
