Part 1: Find localities that don't have an archive in the archive column
1. Sort the gazetteer sheet:
 * highlight the entire sheet by clicking the little rectangle to the top left of the sheet.


 * clicking the data menu


 * select sort range
 * go to sort by and select column J and select A-Z.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the sheet (where you will find any blank spaces in column J) and look for any blank space in the archive column. 3. When you find a line where the archive is blank, check the archive column (J) to see if the archive is listed. If listed, move from the notes column (K) to the archive column (J). 4. If no archive is listed in the notes column, try the Bohemian and Moravian Gazetteers from part two of the project in case they were missed. You can find them on the FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Czech Republic Archives page. 5. If found, add the name of the archive to the archive column and go back to step one. 6. If not found in the PDF gazetteer, try searching GenTeam for the locality.
 * click Gazetteer on the menu to the left
 * enter in the name of the locality
 * leave the crown land field blank
 * if found, enter the archive name and go back to step 1
 * if not found, go to step 7.

7. If not found, try Wikipedia, using the locality name with Czech Republic or Czechia.
 * If found in Wikipedia, look at the district in the sidebar on the right and continue to the next step. If not found mark the line red and put not found in PDF gazetteers, GenTeam or Wikipedia.
 * Make a note of the line you are on on the sheet.
 * Using control F, search the Google sheet for the name of the district found in Wikipedia.
 * Once found, look at the archive column for that district.
 * Copy the name of the archive.
 * Return to the line you were on and paste the archive in the archive column.
 * Return to step 1.

Part 2: Check the notes column
1.Sort the gazetteer spreadsheet by highlighthing the whole sheet, clicking on data, selecting sort range, column K and sort A-Z. This will shift all rows with notes in the notes column to the top of the sheet. 2. Search through the spreadsheet, looking for any notes in the notes column. 3. When you get to a note, read it. It may list an alternate archive for the locality. Replace the name of that archive with the archive listed in the archive column for that line. 4. If the note says the locality was not found in either PDF, try to find it by doing the following:
 * Check the archive column for that line. If it's already filled in, you can go to the next line with a note on it.
 * Check the PDF gazetteers for that locality.
 * Check GenTeam
 * Check Wikipedia
 * Look in the judicial district column to see if the judicial district is listed.
 * Make a note of the line you are on on the sheet.
 * Using control F, search for the name of the district found in Wikipedia.
 * Once found, look at the archive column for that district.
 * Copy the name of the archive.
 * Return to the line you were on and paste the archive in the archive column.

Part 3: Add links to the archives
1. Sort the Google sheet by highlighting the whole sheet, clicking on data, select sort range, column J and A-Z. 2. Open the Czech Republic Archives and Libraries page in the Wiki. 3. Go to the first archive listed in the spreadsheet. 4. Find that archive on the Czech Republic Archives and Libraries and click the link for it. 5. Copy the link for the archive. 6. Go back to the Google sheet and right click on the archive you want to add the link for. 7. Select insert link. 8. Paste the link in the link field. 9. Click apply and move to the next line. 10. When you get to the next archive name, go back to step 2.
