FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables Part 2

Purpose
To update the years for parish records found in the FindMyPast collections.

Step 1

 * 1. On the Task List above, choose a county to work on, make sure to choose the PART 2 - FMP to tab at the bottom of the the sheet to ensure the information is being recorded in the correct part of the project.
 * Put your name in the Contributor Name column(s) of the Task List. You can choose how many parishes you want to work on during each work period. This way multiple people can work on the same county at the same time without.
 * 2. Choose a parish page (links are embedded in the Parish name).

 * 3. Click on the Talk tab at the top left of the page.
 * ** For every Wiki page - in this case, Acton, Cheshire Genealogy - there is an associated talk page that is used by contributors to discuss improvements about the Wiki page. In this project, we are using the Talk page as a sandbox to add content to the parish table before we move the completed table back to the Wiki page. **
