Simulated Grave Markers

Press the "Highlight Code" button below for the effect you would like to copy (or perform a right-mouse-click 'Select All' in the form field to highlight the code). Then use your browser's copy function (click 'Edit | Copy' on the IE or Netscape menubar) to copy the highlighted code. Now paste it into your HTML work area and replace my entries with your grave marker data. Do not add any extra spaces or line feeds (that's your Enter key) to your code, as this will unnecessarily increase the size of your GEDCOM and the resulting WorldConnect record.

Finally, insert the modified code into your genealogy program as a note added to the appropriate member of your family tree.

AND HER CONDUCT TOWARDS ALL MANKIND WAS EMINENTLY BENEVOLENT.
