Articles Needed

- by Dick Eastman

The Encyclopedia of Genealogy is a bit "skeletal" at this time. It only has about 200 articles right now. [12/24/04 update: 351 articles] [1/8/05 update: 382 articles] [10/30/05 update: 796 articles] I can envision that growing to 5,000 or more, if you and your friends can contribute your expertise.

Future articles that are needed include:

  • Information about your local genealogy society
  • Immigration records explained
  • The details of each decade's census records explained.
  • Individual articles on how to research Italian, German, Polish, French-Canadian, Jewish, Black, Indian and other ancestors
  • Many, many more…

To see examples of some of the articles that have already been written, click on the links below:

Ahnentafel
Board for Certification of Genealogists,
Census Record
Chambre Syndicale des Généalogistes
Dawes Rolls
Family History Library
GEDCOM
Henry Numbers
Missouri Birth and Death Records

The above articles are excellent examples of the sorts of information to be found within the Encyclopedia of Genealogy.

More information may be found in the Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs) pages.

For more information on how to contribute articles, click on the Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ) page or perform a search on FAQ.

In short, anyone can write new pages or modify existing pages and we encourage all genealogists to do just that. You do have to create a user name and password, which is free. We do not share that information with anyone else nor do we flood your in-box with email.

Once you are a registered user, look at the menu you see in the upper right corner of most pages on this site. Look under PAGE. To create a new page, click on NEW. To edit an existing page, go to the page you wish to modify and then click on EDIT.

 If you would like to practice this, you may do so in the SANDBOX. That is place designated for practice and everything in the SANDBOX gets deleted within a few hours. For more information, look in the menus to your left and click on HOW TO CONTRIBUTE INFORMATION TO THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GENEALOGY.

Thank you.

You need more articles, I agree, but how do I do this?
