&lt;a href="User:Averyld"&gt;User page &lt;/a&gt;

Landing Page for Wiki Main page - for beginners
Janell's page Wiki Design Brainstorming Committee Note Landing pages at the bottom.

Title - Learning to be a genealogy researcher on the Wiki
Finding my Ancestor using the Wiki (set up another sandbox with this title - tabs for success stories

Rorie - Utah Death Certificates

Sandra - Carlisle Indian School Records

Lynda- Ohio example

Layout - tabs?

Look at Rorie's list of pages and choose ones that apply, that we can link to.

Page needs to cover:
1.Beginning researcher/genealogist - basics

This great page Family History for Beginners may be perfect to use for both of our goals. First section, Getting started in family history research, would be great as the beginner section and a link to the whole page at the end to lead them forward. The rest of the page may be great for the more advanced.
