FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject New York/Tasks-Vital Records USGenWeb

WikiProject New York Progress Chart  Tasks - Vital Records: USGenWeb

Description:
This task involves searching the USGenWeb county page to see what vital record collections are online for the county and for the towns in that county.

Instructions:
1. In New York, very few vital records are kept on the county level. Most are kept on the town level. Be sure to put the town records on the appropriate wiki pages. Often the collections you will find in USGenWeb are town records. Add this information to the town page. NOTE: Only add links to databases that are complete and are not for just a few surnames.

To go to a town page, click on the town link in the "Municipalities and Communities" box at the bottom of the county page (you may have to click on the "show" button to see the list of towns.). Once on the town page, add a Heading 3 called "Vital Records" and add the information about the collections using the format given on this page.

2. FOR COUNTY DATABASES: Add any county vital record sources under the appropriate headings. If there is only one link, indent, but do not bullet. The date should be bolded.

3. FOR TOWN DATABASES: Add any town vital record sources to the appropriate town page under the correct Level 3 headings. You may have to add the headings to the town page. (i.e. Birth, Marriage, Death)
