Reference Documents
Welcome to the Reference Document barn raising. Sign up by editing this table and inserting three tildes in the 'sign up...' column across from the task you want to copy into the Wiki from FamilySearch. After you have added the three tildes, click on the Save page button.

Note that most Reference Documents on FamilySearch are titled "Historical Background". The history in each article should be merged with the current history articles on the Wiki. The links in the table below will take you directly to the history content in both FamilySearch and the Wiki. See the Maryland History page as an example of the merged content that has also been updated with pictures, links to other Wiki articles, and links to Internet sources including Wikipedia, Google Books, and the BYU digitization project. There will be two barn raising events to get this content added and updated in the Wiki. The first barn raising (Step 1), starting April 18, 2009, is to add or merge the FamilySearch documents into the article that already exists on the Wiki. The second barn raising (Step 2), starting March 18, 2009, will be to improve the history articles in the Wiki with links and pictures.
