Purpose
To fix the outdated tables on each parish page in Berkshire, England. These tables contain many broken links, are missing important databases, or list databases that are not very useful in finding vital records in England. The fourth part of this project with be adding links to the FamilySearch Catalog for both parish registers and bishop's transcripts.

Step 1A
Go to the parish page (links are on the [Task List]) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.
 * We will be adding to the FS Catalog PRs part of the table in this section.
 * The FS Catalog PRs code that we will be adding to looks like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog PRs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-


 * It is found in this part of the code:



Step 1B
1. Go to the FamilySearch Catalog and search for the parish in Berkshire. 2. Click on the "Church records" heading to find all of the parish registers collections available for the parish. (An example is shown below) 3. Find the collection title that says: "Parish registers for PARISH, COLLECTION YEARS". Make sure that the Author is "Church of England. Parish Church of PARISH" and not a family history society or person. 4. Click on the link to go to the collection's page and copy the URL.

Go back to the code (shown below) and add the link you just copied from the FamilySearch Catalog. | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog PRs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |
 * The three spaces are the Images columns for Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in the table.

5. Add the link for the FamilySearch Catalog parish registers collection to the three empty spaces. The link will look like: [URL COLLECTION YEARS]

Example: for the parish of Binfield (image shown above), the parish registers collection is titled "Parish registers for Binfield, 1767-1910." This collection will be added to the table for Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials. | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog PRs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1767-1910 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1767-1910 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1767-1910

Take note:
 * If there are no digital images of the parish registers (i.e. if the records can only be accessed on microfilm or in a book at the FHL), do not add the collection
 * If there is more than one collection, separate the links by a comma and put them in chronological order (older records first)
 * If there are no collections available for the parish, then delete the FS Catalog PRs section in the table

Step 2A
Go to the parish page (links are on the [Task List]) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.
 * We will be adding to the FS Catalog PRs part of the table in this section.
 * The FS Catalog BTs code that we will be adding to looks like:

|- | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog BTs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | |-


 * It is found in this part of the code:



Step 2B
1. Go to the FamilySearch Catalog and search for the parish in Berkshire. 2. Click on the "Church records" heading to find all of the bishop's transcripts collections available for the parish. (An example is shown below) 3. Find the bishop's transcripts collection titled "Bishop's transcripts for PARISH, COLLECTION YEARS". Make sure that the Author is "Church of England. Parish Church of PARISH" and not a family history society or person. 4. Click on the link to go to the collection's page and copy the URL.

Go back to the code (shown below) and add the link you just copied from the FamilySearch Catalog. | bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog BTs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" |
 * The three spaces are the Images columns for Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in the table.

5. Add the link for the FamilySearch Catalog bishop's transcripts collection to the three empty spaces. The link will look like: [URL COLLECTION YEARS]

Example: for the parish of Binfield (image shown above), the bishop's transcripts collection is titled "Bishop's transcripts for Binfield, 1607-1835." This collection will be added to the table for Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials.

| bgcolor="#ffffcc" | FS Catalog BTs | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | | bgcolor="#ffcccc" | 1607-1835 | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | | bgcolor="#ccffcc" | 1607-1835 | bgcolor="#ccffff" | | bgcolor="#ccffff" | 1607-1835

Take note:
 * If there are no digital images of the bishop's transcripts (i.e. if the records can only be accessed on microfilm or in a book at the FHL), do not add the collection
 * If there is more than one collection, separate the links by a comma and put them in chronological order (older records first)
 * If there are no collections available for the parish, then delete the FS Catalog BTs section in the table
