 * LDS Church records Salt Lake County
 * Dawne Hole's team completed the stakes in Beaver, Cache, Carbon, Duschesne, Grand, Iron, Juab, Sevier, Wasatch, Washington, and Weber Counties. Joy and Bo Bogar, Jeff and Cathy Stevens, Elizabeth Kesler, and Claudia Heaston. KUDOS to them.
 * Salt Lake County and stakes in Provo and Orem are also completed.
 * Using an Excel file to find all Utah church units in the Catalog that have not been included in our Wiki files - completed Salt Lake and Utah counties.
 * David Dilts drew a map of the original 19 Wards of Salt Lake City and is in process of a clickable map for the Stakes in SLC.
 * Salt Lake City stakes This area is very unorganized right now. Pat talked with David Dilts, who has agreed to create clickable maps so people can click an area where their people lived and it will take them to the stake! Thanks Pat and David!
 * Maps: Added OldMapsOnline.org link to Utah on the online collections page and Utah Maps.
 * To do: county blurb with links to Utah Maps page.
 * USGS.gov maps- keep or take off the page?
 * Utah index of counties (from Newberry): put each county's link under History Timeline? or Maps?
 * Extinct counties need to be added
 * County online collections badges:
 * Steps: Jana will prepare so others (Liz and I at least) can do it.
 * Maintenance is a major concern. How would this be managed?
 * Project end: We will adapt some of the tasks for the Ohio project so people will have something constructive to do. Wilma plans to be finished with her parts (see below) by March 31.
 * Next meeting: February 6th
 * Strategies How to Find Birth Information in the United States; United States, How to Find Genealogy Records (If James is back): More than halfway through with the Utah page.

Still needed:
 * Utah Record Selection Table
 * Wilma will focus soon on Library section, then Deaths, then Marriages.
 * Beginner's corner? Probably nothing until early next year that the "state pages" team meets.
 * Do the county newspaper pages: Wilma is learning how to extract the URL so we can make it go right to the correct area of Chronicling America - Wilma
 * Genealogical Surveys also mentioned in a previous meeting: Do only for Ogden, Davis, Salt Lake? and others with large compilations. P 13 of printed version Utah Research Outline granite stake, Ogden Stake, 289.3?...

From previous meetings:
 * Not a priority: Gallery of images: Joy and I talked about this. Need a process, so others can submit images of the various counties and we won't have to maintain it. (More discussion in Nov 21 meeting. Get with Joy about those suggestions.)
 * FHLC links.
 * To do: once Libraries section is ready, show the FHLC links to the person who has not liked them.
 * Wording for other topics.
 * Census
