Instructions
1. Go to the Task Page and choose a record to insert onto the Texas county pages. Sign your name onto that line so that no one else will start working on that record. 2. Using the list of Texas counties found at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Texas_Counties you will insert that record on each of the 252 Texas county pages. 3. Open the first county page and go down to the Vital Record section. Once there, you will look under the correct section for your record (birth, death, marriage, divorce).


 * Be sure your record does 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. To add to the page you will want to put the title of the record, which is the name found on the Task list page, then in parenthesis whether it is index, images only or index and images and then a hypen and FamilySearch or Ancestry (based on which table you are working on). After that, you will add a hyperlink to the collection from the collection title. You do this by underlining the words "Texas Deaths and Burials 1903-1973 and then clicking on the hyperlink symbol in the edit screen.

Example might look like this Texas Deaths and Burials 1903 – 1973 (index) - FamilySearch


 * NOTE: If you are entering an Ancestry record, at the end of the entry, you will need to enter the symbol indicating that Ancestry requires users to have a paid account  ($), so the same entry above, if it were Ancestry, would look like this:  Texas Divorce 1968-2011 (index) - Ancestry  ($)

5. Enter the words "added vital record" in the edit summary box and then save your page. Once you have saved the page, go down to the Vital Records section on the page and be sure your record shows up as you expect it to. This is an example of the Texas Death and Burials Record after it is placed on a page:



6. Once you have finished inserting the record into all of the Texas counties, go back to the Task List and enter the completed date under your name on the list.
