Thanks for responding to my query. The map is an applcation using google maps. I am not a programmer but rather a seek, cut and paste kind of guy. I don't recreate the wheel. Copy and adapt. I realized I did not provide an enouph information for a good response. I added to my web site the map that I was able to adjust to display one of our cemeteries. It also contains the table with all our cemeteries. I use Kompozer to build most of my web pages. The cemetery list (425 cemeteries) was Excel that I imported into Kompozer and made some adjustments. My object is to allower a user to either click on the cemetery name or an icon near it and have a map appear the shows where the cemetery is located. I have the Lat and Long. in the cemetery table. The HTML for the map shows how it is used. I need to figure out how to transfer the info from the table to the map without fat fingeringine it in for each cemetery.

On http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~palackaw/cemeteries/CemeteriesList.html we just instruct people to past the coordinates into Google maps (link opens in a new window).
