== Progress reports  ==

*Funeral home records - Lois Fowles is starting to input funeral homes on the county pages from one of the directories. (She was looking for work, so I gave her a big task that did not need a lot of explaining.) She will link to their web site and cite the reference to the directory. 
**Future task: contacting the mortuaries to learn: years they have, communities they serve, filmed?, (check with archives, etc.), specialties (Catholic, LDS, Jewish, etc.), records they keep for each person. 
**Obituaries online needs to be in ours. Patsy will look it up so we get it in. ObitsUtah.com courtesy of Utah funeral directors assn.
*[[Beaver County, Utah#Neighboring_counties|Neighboring counties]] - Joy Bogar is updating the images and centering the blurb to the right of them. Starting to look really good. 
**Make maps clickable: see Jason or Beth for how to do it. Jana wants to be part of the training. Joy will probably be happy to do this.
*James did modifying of [[How to Find Birth Information in the United States]], based on comments from our meeting.

From last week: 

:*Get documentation of [[Utah Vital Records#Birth_Records|Delayed Birth Registration]] - dates started, etc. (Says 1941 on state page, but no citation.) - Pat
**Church records -- often used to document for delayed birth (SS, citizinship, etc, Legal needs)
**Church did not keep a copy of the record they gave to the individual. Use the membership records. Pat will double-check on that.
:*Get citation for statement in 1905 the state required copies to be sent to them. - Liz Done. 
:*Documentation for 100 years - Wilma Done 
:*Start templates and task page for Births - Wilma Started 
:*Start on the State Archives project - Liz started adding info to [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Experimental County#Birth|Experimental County]] from the State Archives site to add pertinent links and info to each county. 
:*Learn to make our own "badge" and other templates that allow adaptation - Wilma and Jana? Jana made significant progress. Asking Steve for help.
