3. Locate the right-hand side of the collection page in the box called "Browse this collection".

4. Under the dropdown for Record Type, select "Parish Register".

5. Then, click the dropdown for Description, and check if the parish from the task list appears in the dropdown list of parishes.
 * a. If the parish does appear, put "Yes" in the In collection? column, and continue to step 6.
 * b. If the parish does not appear, go back to the the Record Type dropdown, and select "Parish Register Transcription" and check for the parish name there. Continue to step 6.
