Phase 1a for LDS Church Records in Utah

The purpose of this task is to copy and adapt the pattern (on the Discussion page) to LDS stakes. Details of stake boundaries (with links to adjoining stakes) and names of the wards and branches within the stake will be added.

We will focus first on early and important areas: Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Washington, and Weber Counties. Once the stakes and wards are done for these areas, we will move to the rest of the state.

The history timeline will not be completed for stakes in this phase. (Exception: areas of high population and importance in early Utah history, including at least Salt Lake City, Provo, Orem, Bountiful, Ogden, St. George, Logan. A few of us will work together to discover just how to present a LOT of historical detail to users in a way that will help rather than confuse.

The stakes that need Phase 1a pages added and adapted appear as red links under the heading "Church of Jesus Christ..." on the county pages.

Example of a stake page
See Bear River Stake, Utah for an example where stake boundaries and the names of units have been filled in. (But not the timeline.)
