The first thing you need to add is a doctype statement to your page
for the validator to even work. Try this one at the top of each page -


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">;


You can read more about the structure of a html document
here http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/html-document-structure.html

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet and it is moving all your styles
from your html coding to an external style sheet that is then linked
to each page. Onc change in the style sheet makes the change for each
page it is attached to.

Example:
http://www.family-genealogy-online.com/
http://www.family-genealogy-online.com/new-genealogy.css
(corresponding style sheet)

so rather than a lot of font tags, I can specify the style for the
font family and color.

This may be caused by how you generated your GEDCOM file. With PAF
(Personal Ancestral File), you have to indicate that you want the
notes and sources to be included. Perhaps you neglected to do that.
