Project Leader
Virginia Pratt

Purpose
To add counties, previously unavailable online, to the NBI (National Burial Index) task list.

Part 1: Task List and Talk Page

 * 1. On the Task List above, choose a county to work on, choosing PART 4 – NBI to ensure the information is being recorded in the correct part of the project.
 * 2. Choose a parish page (links are embedded in the Parish name).


 * Step1 NBI Side Project.png


 * 3. Click on the Talk tab at the top left of the page.
 * ** For every Wiki page - in this case, Acton, Cheshire Genealogy - there is an associated talk page that is used by contributors to discuss improvements about the Wiki page. In this project, we are using the Talk page as a sandbox to add content to the parish table before we move the completed table back to the Wiki page. **

 * 4. We will be adding the NBI option into the new parish table on the Talk page.


 * Example of a parish table with NBI code:
 *  Notice that NBI is between FMP records and BOYD records 
 * Step3 Example of parish with NBI.png


 * Example of a parish table we will be working with:
 *  Notice there is nothing between FMP records and BOYD records 
 * This is the space where we will be adding the NBI codes.
