Wiki Project Pennsylvania Tasks - Church Records Cyndi's List

Description
Add databases for church records for the county.

Instructions
1. Search Cyndislist.com

2. Choose the county you are working on.

3. Look for any church record databases that apply to the county (ignore any church histories). Church records are listed under Religion and Churches. If that heading does not appear for your county, you are done with this task.

4. For each church database found, review the databases listed in this county, and analyze them to see if they are worthwhile (contain individuals' names and is complete for the county). If it is not worthwhile, do not include it. The decision is up to you.


 * NOTE: Cyndi's List also lists databases for Ancestry.com. Skip these databases. These databases will be added in the Ancestry.com task.

5. If you think the database is worthwhile, determine which denomination(s) the databases cover(s). Now go to your wiki county page in wikitext and add the database to the appropriate denomination headings already listed. If the denomination is not listed, please add it as a heading 5 in alphabetical order with the other denominations. Leave out the word "Church" for each denomination.

6. Now list each applicable database under the correct denomination heading and after any written description about the denomination (you do not need to add a description) in chronological order and then alphabetical order in the following manner:


 * 6a.WITHOUT DATES IN TITLE


 * :*Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania Church Records taken from Cyndislist.com - index only


 * 6b.WITH DATES IN TITLE


 * :*1758 - 1800 York County, Pennsylvania, 1758-1800: First Moravian Church taken from Cyndislist.com - index only

7. When adding a database with dates in the title, repeat the dates just after the bullet in bold. Make sure to use the N–dash between the dates and anytime it is used in wiki text. The N–dash is made by holding the alt key and typing 0150:

8. After each database, add any helpful info about the database after the $ in the entry such as, "not complete" or "index only" or "index and images". See examples above.

9. If an index covers more than one church for the county, put the database under the heading, County-wide Databases - Multi-denominational and in chronological order among the other databases.

10. We are not adding any church histories at this time. Add only websites that contain individuals' names.
