Angola Gazetteers

Purpose
To update/standardize the gazetteers pages for each country. You will use a lot of your best judgement to make these pages better. Some of these pages won't have much information. And some may have an incredible amount of information. And so we may have to modify the template in the future. Please reach out anytime you have questions or have difficulties knowing where to place information.

Instructions
- Check the FS catalog

1. Go to the Task List above and open the Google Spreadsheet. Select a tab for a geographic area. 2. You'll notice that each sheet has columns for Name, Country, and Maps. Here's a key for what everything means on this spreadsheet:
 * Purple Name column: List your name next to a country you are working on so you can organize who will work on which countries.
 * Blue Country column: This column lists the pages that you will update. You won't edit this column but you can click on each of the countries and it will take you to its FamilySearch Wiki home page.
 * Yellow and Orange Maps column: This column is where you will fill cells with green when you complete them. (You can also leave comments or notes in these cells if you need to organize yourself.)
 * Yellow cells represent countries with map pages that already have a page created with information on them.
 * Orange cells represent countries that don't have map pages. (If you look at the sidebar of these country pages, you'll see that Maps is a red link. These are the countries that have orange cells.)

3. Some of these map pages will have information that belongs in the Gazetteers section. When this is the case,
