1. Add your name to the section of the Task List above that you'd like to work on. 2. Go to the Finnish Parish List, and navigate to the letter of the alphabet that you signed up for in step 1. 3. Click "Edit source" next to the heading of your letter of the alphabet. 4. Locate the name of the first parish in that list. The parish name can be found at the beginning of a new row, before the first pair of pipes (||). See below for examples of where the parish name is on the page.  5. In a new tab or window in your browser, open the FS Wiki and do a search for the parish name. ''If you search in the top right-hand corner search bar on the FS Wiki, typically the drop-down search feature will suggest existing article titles that match your search. See the image below for an example searching for "Akaa".''  6. When you search for the parish name, you should find an option for that parish in Finland. Click on the correct parish page. 7.
 * Note: If your parish name has a (see _____) in the name, such as "Ackas (see Akaa)" in the image above, conduct your search for the name within the parentheses. For example, you would search for "Akaa".
 * Note: One way to help you know if you have the correct parish (especially if there is more than Finnish one parish with that same name), check your parish's listed "Old Province" on the Finnish Parish List. That "Old Province" should help distinguish which parish you are looking for in the search results.
