Instructions
1. Go to the Task Page and sign up for a span of counties to add the records.

2. Next, go to the bottom of the Task Page and you will find the collections you need to add to each of the county pages. We will be adding information to the following headings:
 * Census
 * Naturalization and Citizenship
 * Vital Records

Add needed headings
1. Review the county page and add headings where they are needed in wikitext. The following headings should be in alphabetical order on the county page:


 * === Census ===
 * === Naturalization and Citizenship ===
 * === Vital Records ===

2. If they are not on the page, add them using the above wikitext.

Add subheadings
1. Add the appropriate sub headings under the appropriate headings.

2. If there is already information listed under the heading including other databases, make sure the subheading is there.

3. Use the following guide for each heading:

*For heading, Census add:
 * Online Territory and State Census Indexes and Records

*For heading, Naturalization and Citizenship add:
 * Online Naturalization Indexes and Records

*For heading, Vital Records add:
 * Death
 * Online Death Indexes and Records

Note: You may have to put headings around information already listed in that section.

Add the databases to the county page
1. Return to the Task Page and go to the first heading, Census and copy the database link.

2. Go back to the county page and find the Census heading and paste the databases in wikitext under, Online Territory and State Census Index and Records.

3. Be sure your databases do not already appear on the listing on the county page. If it does, go on to the next county. If it does not, you will want to add it to the page

4. Repeat the process for the naturalization and death databases.

Check your work and save the page
1. Once you have added all the links to the headings, go to the bottom of the page and click, "Show Preview" to review the links to make sure they are blue. Make any necessary adjustments.

2. Once you have reviewed it, go to the Edit Summary field and type in, Added links and click, "Save Page."

3. Repeat this task for each county you signed up for. Once you have completed your counties, return to the Task List and put the date completed.
