Welcome to the England barn raising page! A wiki barn raising is a short, focused community effort to create or revise content relating to a single topic such as "getting started with genealogical research in England." The following tasks need to be accomplished during the England barn raising in February 2009. Please volunteer to complete one or more tasks by adding your name to this list. Before you can add your name to the list below, you must register.. After you have registered:


 * 1) log in to the Wiki
 * 2) while on this page, with the tasks listed, click the "Edit" option located in the page options box to the right. This will open the "Editing" window.
 * 3) the task you wish to work on, then input three tildes in the 'sign up...' column (the third column) across from the task description (Do not type your name--the three tildes will automatically insert your username if you are logged in)
 * 4) go down to the bottom of the editing page, and click 'Save Page', to save your changes.

More than one person may sign up to work on a given task. That way, those that sign up for a task can also communicate with each other on what they are doing.

England Pages to Update as Part of the Barn Raising
Some of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need to be updated. This first table lists those topics that are part of this phase of the barn raising.

Simple tasks
Potentially, a large number of volunteers in the community may feel unqualified to write a 'how to' article on a subject of interest, but they are available to do simple tasks that support the writing of articles. This is the place to list and/or volunteer for those tasks! If you're a writer, here's where you can get some help. If you're a volunteer or community member, here's where you can give some!

Other England Pages to Update
Many of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need to be updated. This table lists all topics for all phases of England barn raisings. They are listed here to give you the opportunity to take a task even if all of those above are taken or none of them meet your interests. You may add tasks you think are needed or add a note to one you think is not needed for England.While these pages are not part of the February 2009 barn raising, they can be worked on at any time, and may be the focus for a future phase of England barn raisings.

England county pages to update
These pages should be written during the second phase of the barn raising.
