Task
Wiki Project Pennsylvania Tasks - Church Records: USGenWeb Task

Description
Use USGenWeb to locate pertinent church record databases on the county website.

Instructions
1. Search USGenWeb.org for the county you are working on.

2. Locate the church section of the page.

3. If there are no church databases on the county page, you are finished with this task. If there are databases, go to the next step.

4. For each church database found, add them using the instructions below to the appropriate denomination heading.

5. If there is no denomination heading listed, add it as a Heading 5 in alphabetical order under the heading, State-wide database. Leave out the word "Church" for each denomination.

6. Under the denomination, list each applicable database from the county USGenWeb page in chronological order and then alphabetical order in the following manner:


 * 6a. WITHOUT DATES IN TITLE
 * :* Southampton Old School Baptist Church at USGenWeb - index only; original name may have been Pennypack(Pennepack) Church


 * 6b. WITH DATES IN TITLE
 * :*1803-1913 – St John The Baptist Roman Catholic Church at USGenWeb - index only; located in Haycock Township

7. When adding a database with dates in the title, repeat the dates just after the bullet in bold. Make sure to use the N–dash between the dates and anytime it is used in wiki text. The N–dash is made by holding the alt key and typing 0150. If the dates are not in the title but can be determined, also add them in this manner.

8. After each database listed, add any helpful info about the database after the title by putting a dash in the entry such as, "not complete" or "index only" or "index and images". See examples above.

9. If the county USGenWeb page lists any church histories link add it to the Church heading in one of two ways depending on the amount of denomination histories listed:


 * 9a. If there are MORE than 3 church history denominations - add a Heading 5, "Online Church Histories" and then list the link. Use the following as an example:


 * ===== Online Church Histories =====
 * :*List of church histories on USGenWeb


 * 9b. If there are LESS than 3 church history denominations - add the entry under each applicable denomination heading AFTER the databases:


 * Online Church History:
