FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks GenWeb Links

Return to Utah Wiki Project Main Page

Task Description
Add links to data files for the county on the UTGenWeb pages for each of the 29 counties.

Review the county GenWeb site, looking for databases, indexes, maps, history, anything of genealogical or historical interest to FamilySearch Wiki users.

For each item you find:

1. In the FamilySearch Wiki, place the link under the appropriate topic, such as Cemeteries, Land Records, Obituaries, etc.

2. Link to the exact place on their site where the item is found.


 * a. If you cannot link to the exact place, describe how to navigate to it on the site.
 * b. If there are several databases, such as several cemeteries, link to the area where the user can browse them all. No need to link to each one from the FamilySearch Wiki.

3. Describe the link so the user will know what to expect.


 * Identify the UTGenWeb Site they are linking to, such as "the county GenWeb site" and link to the contents page for that site. (It's the page you get when you click on the county from UTGenWeb)

Examples
The following examples may be helpful:


 * (Under Military Records) World War II (1941–1945) army enlistments at the county GenWeb site has about 400 entries, mostly from Beaver and Salt Lake Counties. Key at end of list explains codes and columns. Gives year and state of birth. Free.
 * (Under Vital Records) 1904 deaths This county GenWeb site contains about 45 entries which are user submitted. (May not be complete). Click on an entry to see details transcribed from state death certificates. Free.

The above links consist of:


 * 1) The link itself. It goes to the exact location on the website for this topic.
 * 2) The name of the link. It tells the user what they are linking to.
 * 3) The ID of the site itself. In this case, "county GenWeb site"
 * 4) A link to the contents (or overview) page of that county-level site. (This was obtained by click to the county from UTGenWeb)
 * 5) Information to help the user decide to click or not: Years included (in this case, the years are in the name of the link), approx # entries, what information it gives in each entry, how to find column/code interpretations, or other information the user needs.
 * 6) Cost: Free or $.
