FamilySearch Wiki:England, Scotland and Ireland Parish Categorization

Goal of Project
This page's purpose is to help update the Categorization on the Parish pages in England, Scotland and Ireland. The goal is to change the present category that is just the county to include the parish Example: Category:Parishes in Yorkshire. This should help the search for these parishes be more accurate.
