Other Help Wanted

The Country pages, the state and provenience pages, and the county and parish pages need you! To learn more about what help is needed in specific countries enter the words 'help wanted' in the search box and click on the country you have an interest in. At the bottom of most of these pages is a list containing instructions and information on what is needed for that particular area.    In addition to that, here are some simple ways you can add information other researchers need! 

• Add links to the David Rumsey Map Collection for the state or county in question. For an example, see the Pennsylvania. 
• Add each state or county's creation date and parent states/counties. This information can be found using the Place Search in the Family History Library Catalog. 
• Add links to digitized state and county histories. A large collection of such histories is Brigham Young University's Family History Archives. A shortcut to searching it for local histories is on the BYU-FHL Digital Books Collection page. 
• The Research Wiki is also available in ten other languages. You can help by translating pages into one of the other languages.
