Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Introduction

What is the Wiki?
We can never have enough articles in the Wiki!
 * A site to find out what genealogical records are available for a particular part of the world and how to gain access to them. We have at present Special:Statistics research articles for locations around the world.
 * Topics include such items as Census, Marriage, Probate, Military, Birth, Court, Land, etc. Click here and check the left sidebar to see a typical list.
 * Think of the Wiki as a Google for Family History Research

What the Wiki is not

 * The Wiki is not a database of names. To search for names you should go to FamilySearch.org or other sites on the internet.  If you see genealogy information on any page, it is to be deleted.

Accessing the Wiki
