FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Birth

Task Description
Copy preset birth paragraphs and links under the "Birth" heading for each of Utah's 29 counties. Then adapt the paragraphs and links to the county.

FYI: Using templates allows wording to be consistent from county to county. Changes can be made in one place and appear wherever those templates were posted.

It is expected that this task will take 30 - 60 minutes per county, since some finding and citing of sources will be needed.

Step 1. Prep
Once you have two tabs or windows opened, switch back and forth between them by mousing over the tabs, or use Alt+Tab to toggle between two windows. 1. Go to the Sign up Chart and follow directions to sign up for a county.

2. Type the name of that county (such as Garfield) in the edit Summary box and Save Page.

3. Click on the county (takes you right to the Birth heading).

Step 2. Put the planned info on the county page
1. Toggle (Alt+Tab or mouse) back to this task page

2. Copy (highlight then Ctrl+C) the mix of cryptic codes and words below. (NOT in Edit mode):

====== Before [date county formed] ======  : was formed in [date formed].      ====== [date formed]-[year before birth records began] ======      *   *   *   *   ====== [date birth records began]-present ======    Records open to the public   :* /(Index#)  (years)    (index#).htm: accessed 28 July 2012.)
