Task List

Instructions
1. Open the Task List, and add your name to the Name column for the parishes you want to sign up for.

2. Open the Bristol, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 collection on Ancestry.com.
 * You do not have to be signed in to Ancestry to work on this project.

3. Locate the right-hand side of the collection page in the box called "Browse this collection".

4. Locate the "County" dropdown, and select the corresponding location based on Column D in the task list.

5. Then, click the "Parish" dropdown, and check if the parish from the task list appears in the dropdown list of parishes.
 * a. If the parish does appear, put "Yes" in the In collection? column, and continue to step 6.
 * b. If the parish does not appear, put "No" in the In collection? and in the Added to wiki page? columns of the task list, and continue on to the next parish.

6. Using the following Wiki lists of parishes, locate a matching parish name and go to that Wiki page.
 * If the location in Column D says "Bristol", refer to the Gloucestershire Parishes AND Somerset Parishes lists to find a matching parish.
 * If the location in Column D says "Gloucesetershire", refer to the Gloucestershire Parishes list to find a matching parish.
 * If the location in Column D says "Somerset", refer to the Somerset Parishes list to find a matching parish.
 * If you can't find a good match in either list, put "No" in Column F, and make a note "No corresponding parish" in Column G of the task list, and continue on to the next parish in the task list.

7. Go to the Church of England heading of the corresponding Wiki parish page, and click "Edit source".

8. Locate the line of code in the parish table that says  | bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-Bristol ($)  and continue to step 10.
 * If that line of code does not exist, follow the sub-steps 8a-8c below to add that section to your parish table.


 * 8a. Copy the following code:

| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-Bristol ($)
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | -
 * bgcolor="#ffffff" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8" | -
 * bgcolor="#E8E8E8"| -
 * 8b. Locate the section of the parish table that says  | bgcolor="#ffffff" width="30%"| Ancestry-England & Wales, Birth, Christening, Marriage and Death Indexes ($) , and add one empty line above that section of the table (see the yellow line in the image below).
 * You may also use Ctrl+F to search for this section of the parish table, if that is easier.

9. Copy the following code: 1500s-1800s

10. Locate the 1st, 3rd, and 5th cells of the table.
 * If there is already a collection listed in any of those three cells (as shown in the image below), continue to step 11.
 * If there isn't a collection already listed in any of those cells, skip to step 14.



11. Next, copy the following code: 1500s-1800s

12. Paste the code from step 11 directly before the link already in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th cells of the table, but after the   code. See below for an example of finished code (new code you pasted is shown in yellow below).



13. After completing step 12, skip to step 16.

14. Copy the following code: 1500s-1800s

15. In the 1st, 3rd, or 5th cell that don't have any collections listed, replace the instance(s) of  -  in that line with the code you copied in step 14.
 * If any of those cells already have a collection listed, refer to step 12 for instructions for where to paste the code.

16. Click "Show preview" and look at the table. The "1500s-1800s" collection should appear in each of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th cells, either on its own, or right below another collection. (See image below for an example) 

17. If the table looks correct, add the following statement to the "Summary" box: Project adding Bristol church records 18. Save the page.

19. Put "Yes" to the Added to wiki page? column of the Task List.

20. Continue on to the next parish.
