Instructions
1. Go to the Task Page and sign out the state.

2. Go to the North Carolina page and use the list of county pages provided there. Using that list, you will place the information below on each of the county pages.

3. In each case, you will be adding the contact information for two officials for each county. The first county will be completed as an example for you to follow.

4. You will be adding the mailing address and phone number for the Register of Deeds and the Clerk of Superior Court for each county.

5. Find the Register of Deeds address here. Go down to the bottom of the page and select the county you want from the drop down menu.



Once you pull up the county you will get a screen with all of the information for that county. We want to use the mailing address, not the street address. Also, we do not want to use the name of the person holding the office, as this will change over time. We simply use the title Register of Deeds.



6. Go to the county page and go to the heading County Courthouse near the top of the page. Click on the edit box.



7. You will see a paragraph that says something similar to ...

"Clerk Superior Court has divorce, probate &amp; Court records from 1849 Register of Deeds has birth, marriage, death and land records"

Directly under this paragraph enter the information for the Register of Deed's office for that county and the Clerk Superior Court office for that county. Do not enter the name of the clerk, but enter it as shown on the example below.



8.  You will then need to enter the information for the Clerk of Superior Court. You will find that information here. Once you pull up the page, go down to the County field and pull up the county you are working on from the drop down menu.



This will pull up a listing of officials for that county. The first listing should always be the Clerk of Superior Court. Find this person's name and click on it.



Once you click on the Clerk of Superior Court's name, all of the information will pull up for that office.



Copy the mailing address and phone number for the Clerk of Superior Court and add it to your page.

8. Once you have entered the two addresses, drop down to the Edit Summary Box and enter "added clerk information" in the box and save your work.



9.  After you have saved your work, take a look at the County Courthouse section on the wiki page and be sure the page looks like you would expect it to. If the information that you entered looks ok, you are ready to move on to your next county.
