TASK:
FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject New York/Tasks-Church Records FHLC

WikiProject New York Progress Chart  Wiki Project New York Tasks - Church Records FHLC

Description
The purpose of this task is to add original church records to the county and town pages.

Instructions
1. Using the county page already created, look to see if the county historian is listed under repositories or on the County Courthouse page. (one of the tasks is to move the county historian to the county page so they will all be in the same place).

2. If a county historian is listed, contact the historian (call or email). You will want to ask about any unique county sources or strategies/suggestions on how to research in this county. Try to find out as much as you can and add this information to the county page.

3. Once you obtain the information, add it to the county page where appropriate.

3. If the county historian is not listed, search the internet to see if one could be located. You can also try the source, Elizabeth Petty Bentley, Genealogist's Address Book: State and Local Resources, with Special Resources Including Ethnic and Religious Organizations, 6th ed. (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Pub., 2009), ppp. ;.

4. If you have any questions, talk to David Dilts.

Example
Because every county page is different, there is no example for this task.
