=== Step 1: Prepare the county Wiki page  ===
 
Under the '''Cemeteries''' heading, simply press ''Enter'' three times to move any existing content down and make room for what you will add.
 
NOTE: we repect the work of others, so we don't want to change their work at this point in the task.
 
=== Step 2: Copy the Templates for the Cemeteries area  ===
<div style="padding-bottom: 1.4em; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; width: 99%; border-right: rgb(221,221,221) 1px solid" id="imageContainer">
{| style="background-color: rgb(255,255,204)" border="1" cellpadding="5"
|-
| bgcolor="#ffff99" align="left" | A template is a standard paragraph that is used over and over. Using a template allows updates or changes to be made once and appear wherever the template has been placed.<br>When you are in WikiText, a template is surrounded by two "squiggly brackets" <nowiki>{{template name}}</nowiki>
|}
</div>
In this step, you will copy, then paste templates to the county under the "Cemeteries" heading. Here's how:
<div style="padding-bottom: 1.4em; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; width: 99%; border-right: rgb(221,221,221) 1px solid" id="imageContainer">

</div>
 
=== Step 3: Finish the Find A Grave information  ===
