Vision thinking (brainstorm)

4 September 2012

 * Birth templates, Utah State Archives, etc.
 * Can we have Liz proceed with birth area for all counties?
 * Just the state archive part or the entire "Since 1897" piece?
 * Liz went to BYU library and looked at every film. There are differences as some DO give the names of the children.
 * What about the other state archive holdings? Liz or prepare a project description?
 * Pattern page for Church Records -- Wilma
 * Funeral homes -- the bad news from Lois, plans for tomorrow's meeting
 * We will make further plans, but do they have
 * Strategy: pick a county - check death records for that county and look for names of funeral homes, then contact funeral director about that info.
 * Liz does Washington, Jana does Davis County.
 * Sandy UGA Conference -- What shall we recruit with now?
 * Still funeral homes? Remove. Can still do it at last minute
 * Public libraries?
 * Gather names of willing people, include a date for training re: whatever tasks were suggesting
 * Liz/Jana suggestions?
 * Let's have both avenues ready: training for gathering, email info to contact person to enter it; or if you prefer to put it in yourself, contact x person for training.
 * Requests for images of various types of Utah records? (Baby books, Funeral Programs, etc.?)
 * Utah page: request from the Thursday meeting group that we revamp it to interest and guide less experienced researchers. See England page for some ideas. -- Jana
 * What do we name this "sandbox" page? User:JanaStokes/Sandbox Utah
 * Shall we open it to someone else to do, or have us work on it with discussions? There is a difference when someone is writing it as opposed to a group putting it together
 * Painstakingly slow, but in the end it is just sooo good.
 * table at top is one suggestion
 * Death-related records page: Possible format at WikiHow
