Task List
Task List

Add heading and collections
1. Cut the heading, State Census and replace it with the following wikitext: ====State and Territory Census Records====

2. Copy and paste the following onto the page directly below the Population template and the Census Intro template and BEFORE the first databases (should be 1865 Census).

Kansas became a territory in 1854 and the first territory census taken was in 1855. The state continued to take state censuses after it was admitted to the Union in 1861.

3. Copy and paste the following BEFORE the collections already listed in the State and Territory Census Records heading:

*1855-1925 - Kansas State Census Collection, 1855-1925 at Ancestry - ($), Index and images; covers census years 1855-1859, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, 1925

4. Copy and paste the following wikitext AFTER the last collection already listed in the State and Territory Census Records heading:

*1919-1961 - Kansas, City and County Census Records, 1919-1961 at Ancestry - Partial index (4 counties) and images

5. Copy and paste the following wikitext AFTER you have added the collection listed in Step 4:

==== Federal Census Records ==== The 1870 Census was the first Federal Census taken for Kansas after it became a state in 1861. For links to Federal Census indexes, see Kansas Census.

6. If there are additional links on the page, put them in the appropriate heading and in chronological order.

7. If a link we add above is already on the page, delete that link from the page and paste the new one listed above.

Save the Page
4. Enter "added census records" to the edit summary box and save your work.

5. Check the page to be sure your work looks correct (no wikitext showing, no duplicate records).

6. Move on to the next county.
