Below is an example of a simple Family Group Sheet format with areas to record LDS events (we'll get into how to change backgrounds and fonts, link to other pages, etc. a bit further on). You can make copies of this template and use as many as you need. To save this file to your hard drive, go to your File menu and select Save As... then choose a name and location for the file. Once this is done, you can open this file in any text editor. Replace the holder text with actual names, dates, locations, and source info. This particular example is for U.S. families, but can be easily modified for other countries. Because this example uses very little HTML to format the text, take care to keep the text lined up as shown, or it will appear rather ragged online. If you need entries for more than 10 children, copy and paste from the existing children's sections to add them, or if you need less, delete the unnecessary ones. You can delete or modify this upper section of text, but always be sure to add a link back to your index page or other section of your site to make it easier to navigate. You can copy and modify the one below, if you like.
