Purpose
To fix the outdated tables on each parish page in England. Many of the links are broken or only link to the home page and some databases listed in these tables are not the most useful databases in finding vital records in England. First county: Berkshire.

Task List
Task List

Step 1
Go to the parish page and look for the Online Parish Records table under the "Church records" heading.

Option 1
If there is already a table on the page, paste the following code underneath it (the original table will be deleted at the end).

Option 2
If there is no table on the page, paste the following code under the statement beneath the "Church records" heading:
 *  parish registers of christenings, marriages and burials are available online for the following years:

Option 3
If there are two tables, paste the following code twice. In some parishes, there was more than one church and so two tables were added, one for each parish. The two original tables will be deleted at the end.

Code
To find the original images, look up in the FamilySearch Catalog.

Step 2
1. Go to: www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-brk.htm. 2. Scroll down to the parish you are working on. (An example is shown below) 3. Find the birth/christening and marriage IGI batches for the parish that will be added to the table under IGI. The batches will be added in this part of the code. | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |
 * Birth/Baptisms will be added in the first space and the Marriages will be added in the second space.

Take note:
 * Only add the IGI batch if the batch has over 100 entries.
 * The template for the IGI is:
 * If there is more than one batch for the Births/Baptisms or Marriages, add a comma between the links. Put the batches in chronological order (older batch first).
 * If there is no IGI for the parish, then delete the IGI section in the table.

For example, for the parish of Binfield (image shown above), two Births/Baptisms batches (C020371 and C020373) and three Marriages batches (M020371, M020373, and M020372) would be added. The code would look like this: | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | IGI | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | , | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" |, , | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |

Step 3
Now delete the original table(s).

Finished Example
To find the original images, look up Binfield, Berkshire in the FamilySearch Catalog.
