Why Should I Look at This Collection?
Add this section to describe any special benefit to looking at this collection.

What is in This Collection?
Please do not just copy and paste the Publishable Description from the Guidance Tab in Rosetta. Use that description as a base and add information based on what you know about the collection when the article is written. Check out the original records or microfilm collections, to see what they look like. At first this description is only preliminary, it should be updated as more is known about the collection or the collection scope changes. You may want to mention the archive where the collection was housed.

Image Visibility
To find possible restrictions, locate the Restriction Codes under the Images tab in Rosetta. Compare the K codes with the Image Visibility Notices document (found in OneDrive) to see if you need to add a notice. If you do, copy and paste the corresponding notice text here.

For additional information about image restrictions, please see the Restrictions for Viewing Images in FamilySearch Historical Record Collections page.

Reading These Records
These records are written in language. Add links and explanations about guides to languages and/or handwriting, as well as a link to translation the section, if there is one For example: #For Help Reading These Records|For Help Reading These Records

Add this section only if there are images to view and a browse hierarchy with headers (not just numbers, aka a fakey browse).

What Can These Records Tell Me?
The idea is to give the article readers an idea what information is include in each image or record. Add a list of information listed in the records. We usually begin with this phrase: The following information may found in these records: You may use a sentence if the list is short or a list of phrases that describe the data found in the records. Please use phrases such as Name of Deceased, Birthdate of bride, and Occupation of groom. Rosetta often lists this information. Go to the Guidance tab, scroll down to the Fields heading, and look at the table column labeled as Name. Sometimes a column format works better, here is the coding to use for columns:

Add advice about how to use the discovered information. For example:
 * Do not forget to cite the record. See below for help citing this collection.
 * If possible, use what you know to find an image of the original record. The index contains only basic identifying information for a person; the original record therefore may contain more information not found in the index.
 * Continue to search the index for family members.

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?
Add advice about alternate records, search methods, locations, etc. For example:
 * Check for variants of given names and surnames. It was not uncommon for an individual to be listed under a nickname, middle name, or abbreviation of their given name.
 * Search the records of nearby locations. In the period of this collection, few individuals ever lived more than 20 miles from their place pf birth, though smaller moves were common.
