    3. Hmmm, well I used tables for the marriage lists that I'm working on, and an example is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arwoodru/marriages/males/index-male-a.htm Some sizes are nice and small (20k), and some are bigger(200k) cause I haven't gotten around to reducting them yet. For the cemeteries, I used just typed lists, and think for most I used "<pre>" and didn't worry about things lining up, as in: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arwoodru/cemetery/fakescem.htm My 2 cents - hope that helps!
