Set Up

 * 1) Make sure you are logged in to FamilySearch and the FamilySearch Wiki.
 * 2) Sign up on the Task List above.
 * 3) Use this link to get to the Iowa county listings.
 * 4) Select the first county under the letter of the alphabet you signed up for.
 * 5) Scroll down to the Websites area and open the FamilySearch Catalog link in another tab.  It should be the last listing under Websites.
 * 6) Select the Divorce records section.

Catalog Instructions
We are looking for image-only items (the ones with the camera icon to the right of them) to add to the Iowa pages.

1. Open the first Catalog Divorce entry. It should look something like this: 2. Scroll down to the Film/Digital Notes section and look for a camera icon on the right of the note. 3. Select the Camera Icon to see if the records are viewable.
 * If the entry IS viewable online, continue to Iowa County Page Instructions.
 * If the entry IS NOT viewable online, go to the next entry in the Divorce section listing.

Iowa County Page Instructions
This section instructs you on how to add the information from the FamilySearch Catalog to the Iowa County page.


 * Open the Divorce section on the Iowa county page which is towards the very bottom under the Vital Records section.

'''For Adair County, Iowa, there is only one entry in the catalog. We'll use that as our example'''

1. First copy the template to the Divorce section of the County page:


 * * date-date (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

2. Add the dates. Copy them straight from the title. It is not necessary to look for dates if they are not in the title. Leave the dates blank, if that is the case.

EXAMPLE:
 * (with dates) * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images
 * (without dates) * (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

3. Next we need the title #. Using the image above, look for the inverted V over the URL line.
 * The title number is obtained from the URL line. As you read across the URL, it will start off with familysearch.org/search/catalog/######? plus more characters.
 * The title number is the number immediately after the word catalog/ and before the ?
 * Copy just the number from the URL line and place it where it says title #

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

4. Leave the item part as-is.

5. After the disp=, place the title of the film exactly as written except capitalize the first letters in the title. No need to add author or anything else.

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

6. And it should look like this when saved:

EXAMPLE:
 * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

7. If there are NO other entries in the Catalog, go to the next section.

8. If there ARE other Divorce Entries in the Catalog, please go back to the start and enter each one.

Before You Leave the Page

 * If there is more than one item under the Divorce heading, please place them by date order first. If there are no dates, then they go alphabetical under the date-ordered entries.
 * Do a "Show preview" before saving to make sure it looks like it is supposed to.
 * Before you save the page, please enter Adding FS Catalog entries project.
 * Don't forget to go back to the Task List and put a date on your part when you are done.

Thank You!
