FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Updating links on Online Records Pages

1. Go to the task list and sign up for a state or country Online Genealogy Records wiki page.

2. Click on this link to go to the google doc for this project where you will list any new collections you find. a. Find the tab on the spreadsheet with the name of your Online Genealogy Records page. b. You will return to this page when you have found a new collection to add to the page.

3. CHECK FAMILYSEARCH: Visit FamilySearch.org to see what new collections are available for the locality. a. Go to FamilySearch.org Historical Records: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list   b. On the left of the screen find the locality under the Place list. For example, if you are doing Alabama, click on the United States link, then click on Alabama   c. Once the list comes up, on the right side of the screen, click on “last updated.” This will put the list of databases in chronological order of when the collections have been last updated. d. From that list, examine any collections that have been added in since 2013. e. Compare the list on FamilySearch with the Online Genealogy Records page to see if the newer databases are listed. f. NOTE: If you are doing a state in the US: you must check the state list and the US list for any country-wide new collections – except for federal censuses. We only list special state censuses on this page. g. If there are no new databases, skip to Step 4.
