Progress reports

 * Funeral home records questionnaire
 * Lois asked Larkin funeral home about records and it sounded like they only have about what would be on a death certificate. (I think James told us that in one of the meetings)
 * We have decided to check with a few more, but use the following strategy: 1) check the online death certificates
 * Neighboring counties
 * Joy has started experimenting with the clickable maps. Her husband, Bo, has finished proofreading and updated links to be sure every neighboring county is listed.
 * Results of poll re: order of records to suggest for finding birth information. James started the update to How to Find Birth Information in Utah.
 * Start templates and task page for Births - Wilma made great progress
 * Start on the State Archives project - Liz reworded info to experimental county, will do this for all counties.
 * Utah Record Selection Table needs updating. (Just keeping on the list until done)
