User:AdkinsWH/Sandbox Church Units

Purpose of this page: to brainstorm a pattern for gathering information about wards and branches.

Approaches to consider

 * Do a separate page for each ward or branch
 * Do all wards/branches in a town on one page, with links or contents to each
 * Advantage: extracting timeline from Jenson's is easier
 * Will it be easier for the user, since they won't have to jump around?
 * Do all ward/branches in a town on one page, with only the records listed by ward. Boundaries can be shown together. Timeline and everything else is combined.

Name on ward/branch page:

Name on county page:


 * On the county page, match the name as it is in Jenson's
 * Identify the page where the town (or ward) starts.
 * phase 1: the user searches Jensons to find the town or ward
 * phase 2: can we link to a search for the ward? Link to the page?

Location
In Payson, Utah County, Utah
