Purpose
To add counties, previously unavailable online, to the NBI (National Burial Index) task list.

Part 1: Task List and Talk Page

 * 1. On the Task List above, choose a county to work on, choosing PART 4 – NBI to ensure the information is being recorded in the correct part of the project.
 * 2. Choose a parish page (links are embedded in the Parish name).


 * Step1 NBI Side Project.png


 * 3. Click on the Talk tab at the top left of the page.
 * ** The Talk page is associated with the content of the main page (in this example the topic is Acton, Cheshire Genealogy) and is used to discuss and improve the contents of the main page. For this project, the Talk page is used to improve the parish tables on the main page. **


 * Step2 NBI Side Project.png


 * 4. We will be adding the NBI option into the new parish table on the Talk page.


 * Example of a parish table with NBI code:
 *  Notice that NBI is between FMP records and BOYD records 
 * Step3 Example of parish with NBI.png


 * Example of a parish table we will be working with:
 *  Notice there is nothing between FMP records and BOYD records 
 * This is the space where we will be adding the NBI codes.
