INSTRUCTIONS FOR EDITING CODE:
== Quick Dates ==

Xxxxxx County's civil records start the following years:     Xxxxxx = insert your county name  (mixed case)


 * 1) Replace Xxxxxx with your county name (mixed case)
 * 2) Replace the ZZZZ with the 4-digit year for each item in the following order:
 * 3) *Year Birth Records First Recorded
 * 4) *Year Marriage Records First Recorded
 * 5) *Year Death Records First Recorded
 * 6) *Year Census Records First Recorded
 * 7) *Year Land Records First Recorded
 * 8) *Year Probate Records First Recorded

You will replace all of the Xxxxx fields and all of the ZZZZ fields.

ON THE DATE LINES, BE SURE THERE IS A SPACE AFTER THE " | " BAR, and then just type in the corresponding date. If you do not currently know the date for one of the categories, remove the "ZZZZ" and insert "&amp;nbsp" after the "|" (remembering to leave one space after the bar)

If you do not know these dates, many can be found on the WeRelate Wiki page for the   corresponding county. http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Main_Page See the "Timeline" section for dates.

Quicktip: If you paste the Quick Dates code into Wordpad, Notepad or any of the other WP programs, you can do a quick "find and replace" for the county name: "find" Xxxxxx and "replace" with your county name and it will change all the X's at once.
