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.

The purpose of this task is to help users by
 * 1) listing FamilySearch Centers 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.
