FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables Part 2

Purpose
To update the years for parish records found in the FindMyPast collections.

Instructions
The example for this set of instructions will be the county of Buckinghamshire. NOTE: Make sure the PARISH LIST in PART 2 FMP, to ensure the information is being recorded for the right part of this project.

Step 1
Go to the parish page (links are on the Task List) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.
 * We will be adding the correct years for the Buckinghamshire baptisms, marriages, and burials indexes (found on FindMyPast).
 * The code (FMP) that we will be changing looks like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FMP | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1536-1918 | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1534-1933 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1536-1992 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-


 * It is found in this part of the code:



Step 2
1. Go back to the task list and choose the FMP link that is next to the chosen parish. (If link is broken go to www.findmypast.com/articles/buckinghamshire-index-parish-list.

2a. Scroll down to the parish you are currently working on underneath Buckinghamshire baptisms index.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington has baptism records from 1576 to 1817 in the FindMyPast collection.



2b. Go back to the code and change the year range on the first line of the FindMyPast code to match what the table says.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington would have the baptism years 1576-1817 instead of what is current listed, 1538-1917.

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FMP | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1576-1817 | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1534-1933 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1536-1992 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-

2c. Go back to the Buckinghamshire parish list page. Scroll down to the parish you are currently working on underneath Buckinghamshire marriage index.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington has marriage records 1576 to 1813 in the FindMyPast collection.



2d. Go to the code and change the year range on the second line of the FindMyPast code to match what the table says.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington would have marriage year range 1576-1813 instead of what is currently listed, 1538-1931.

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FMP | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1576-1817 | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1576-1813 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1536-1992 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-

2e. Go back to the Berkshire parish list page. Scroll down to the parish you are currently working on underneath Buckinghamshire burials index.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington has burial records from 1576 to 1817 in the FindMyPast collection.



2f. Go to the code and change the year range on the third line of the FindMyPast code to match what the table says.
 * For example:
 * The parish of Addington would have burial years 1576-1817 instead of what is currently listed, 1538-1966.

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FMP | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1576-1817 | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1576-1813 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1576-1817 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-
