FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables: Fixing TheGenealogist Years

Purpose
To change TheGenealogist (TGEN) years in every table to correspond with each parish.

Website
Parish Registers in TheGenealogist - gives the years for every parish found in TheGenealogist. Click on a county.

Instructions

 * 1. Choose a county to work in and click on the corresponding Parish List. Go to a parish page. Find the "Church records" heading and click on "Edit source" next to it.


 * 2. Scroll down to this part of the code:


 * TGEN project 1.png

NOTE: Some counties may only have one or two lines in the code. For example:
 * Tgen 2.png


 * 3. Go to Parish Registers Online and click on your county located on the left side of the page. Scroll down to find your parish. The parish may be listed multiple times for birth, marriage, death, and banns years. For example:
 * Tgen 3.png


 * 4. Go back to the code and change the years in the code according to what is found on the website.
 * For baptisms change these years:
 * Tgen 4.png


 * For marriages change these years:
 * Tgen 5.png


 * For burials change these years:
 * Tgen 6.png


 * 5. Put "Changing TGEN years" in the Summary box and then click "Save page."

Here is an example:
 * The parish of Felmersham has baptisms 1602-1812, marriages 1603-1812, and burials 1602-1812. This is what the code will look like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | TGEN | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1602-1812 | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1603-1812 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1602-1812 | bgcolor="#ccffff" |

If Not Found in List
Option 1: If the parish is missing baptisms, marriages, or burials then put a  on the line instead of the brackets.


 * For example:


 * The parish of Bedford St Mary only has marriages 1802-1802 (there are no baptisms or burials). This is what the code will look like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | TGEN | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1802-1802 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | Option 2: If the parish is not found at all in the list, delete it from the table. There are 2 places to delete in the table:
 * Location 1: near the beginning of the code:
 * Tgen 8.png


 * Location 2: near the end of the code:
 * Tgen 9.png

NOTE: If you are unsure what to delete, put a note in the comments column of the spreadsheet and we will delete it for you.
