How do I create a hyperlink to another memorial from within the biography?
You may need to link a child to grandparents whose parents are still living or a cenotaph to an actual burial memorial. It's simple to link to another Find a Grave memorial from the biography.

Select the link symbol in the editor and add the URL for the memorial in the field provided, clicking save. Scroll down and Save Changes. Here are step-by-step instructions with screenshots.
1. Type the text that will display (this is often the individual's name) and then highlight it.
