 * From the introduction and the History section of Wikipedia, find the following type of information:
 * The date/time period the original Province was founded or created.
 * What state/country it belonged to at different periods of time.
 * Historically significant events (fires, earthquakes, battles) that may have damaged genealogical records.
 * Rephrase the historical information whenever possible so we are not directly copying Wikipedia.
 * The last bit of information should give the population of the Province (this can be found in the Wikipedia-page sidebar). The basic format is already provided.
 * Fill in the name of the municipality
 * Fill in the population number, (usually stated in the sidebar), rounded to the hundred.

If there is a problem or a question about any of these parishes, email amberlarsen@familysearch.org with the parish information or contact through Yammer.
