FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables: Somerset Part 1

Project Leader
Becca Curtis

Purpose
To fix the outdated tables on each parish page in Somerset, England. These tables contain many broken links, are missing important databases, or list databases that are not very useful in finding vital records in England. The first part of this project will be deleting the old table and pasting the new code.

Instructions
1. Go to the parish page (links are on the Task List) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.

2. Delete everything after the "Church records" heading.
 * NOTE: If there is a =====Non Conformist Churches===== heading near the bottom of the section, just delete everything between the "Church records" and "Non Conformist Church" headings.

Information about the parish may be found on Somerset Online Parish Clerks. Records are also available at the Somerset Archives and Local Studies.

4. Add the actual parish name where it says "PARISH NAME" (found twice near the top of the newly-inserted code). Do not put the parish in all caps. (For example: Abington Piggots not ABINGTON PIGGOTS)
