Thank you, Mike.  Your approach is very nice.  I like it a lot.  I would 
like to build something similar, so I looked through the source 
statements of the imap.htm file and found the following references:

    // This Javascript is based on code provided by the
    // Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team
    // http://www.commchurch.freeserve.co.uk/
  
    // http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/

Unfortunately, neither of these URLs seem to be working.  Would it be 
possible to get a sample of the "familymap.xml" file?  Is there anything 
else I'd need to know in order to get a similar thing working on my 
website?  (www.ErblandBrown.org)

Thanks,  Mardon
