Wiki Content
County libraries, look at their internet pages, get to know what resources they have. Go there if possible. Find things that are not online but compliment. Archives of the state, get online and manuscript info. Guides you can download and learn about more resources.

Resources for documenting wills and probate records: wiki users may not know there are additional or later records on microfilm or other formats. Give description of how to use. Look to where the entire collection is. Including courthouses. Special collections and others.

How can we help people want to contribute links to their databases, information. Perhaps they could create a page that informs people what they have, events.
