===============snip==================

Your link for the style sheet is

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="familypage.css" />


which indicates it is located in the same directory as the page it is
linked to BUT the page is actually located one directory down

>http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rprobert/new-site/probert/george-probert-and-jane-ann-mennell.htm


so the style sheet needs to include ../

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../familypage.css" />

which tells the browser to go up one level. Depending on how many
levels down the page is located, you will need to adjust the link.
