Task Lists

This project is found in tab Part 40 as the Part Two Column

Project Instructions

Read through all parts and steps in the instructions until you get to the bottom of the page

Don't skip any instructions, parts, or steps unless the instructions say to do so

Stick with just the project instructions and do not spend time looking, fixing, or updating anything else on the Town page

If you don't understand something or have any questions, please reach out to me on Yammer

Make sure you are logged into the FamilySearch.org while in the catalog as well as in the Wiki at all times

Don't forget to add your name and date to every line of "Part Two" in the task list, so when you are finished we can complete the project for that state

If there is other information in the Maps Section, put your new Map links at the very top above the older information. Make a notation on the task list
