FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject New York/Tasks-Vital Records USGenWeb

WikiProject New York Progress Chart  Tasks - Vital Records: USGenWeb

Description:
This task involves search USGenWeb county page to see what vital record collections are online.

Instructions:
1. In New York, very few vital records are kept on the county level. Most are kept on the town level. However, it is important to check in the event there are original records or abstracts. Often the collections you will find in USGenWeb are town records. You may want to put this information on the town page.

To go to a town page, click on the town link in the "Municipalities and Communities" box at the bottom of the county page (you may have to click on the "show" button to see the list of towns.). Once on the town page, add a Heading 3 called "Vital Records" and add the information about the collections using the format given on this page.

2. Review the entries and add any county vital record sources (this can be a collection of town records for a county) under the appropriate headings. If there is only one original record, indent, but do not bullet. The date should be bolded.
