Review of last meeting


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.
  • 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:

    • 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 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.
