WikiProject Washington Wiki Project Washington Tasks - Family History Centers

Description

 * FamilySearch has had Family History Centers for several years. They are adding Discovery Centers soon, as well as libraries and archives partnering with FamilySearch. These will all be under the umbrella term of FamilySearch Centers, but the names of existing centers will not be changed—at least not yet.

Identify Family History Centers in (or near) each county. 1) Create a link (if not already there) and click to the Wiki page for each center. Then add contact information and hours, if not already there. 2) On the county page, indicate if they have the FHC Portal. 2a) If none in this county have the Portal, identify the nearest Center (or library) OUT of this county that does have it.

The purpose of this task is to help users by
 * 1) list and link to the wiki page for each FamilySearch Center in (or near each county in Washington
 * 2) linking to the wiki page for that center;
 * 3) updating the center's wiki page with contact information (address, phone #);
 * 4) noting on the COUNTY page what online subscriptions they have (Ancestry.com, HeritageQuestOnline, Fold3, etc.).

This task is an intermediate task and requires some knowledge about or experience with writing in wikitext.
