Introduction

This module for webtrees 1.7.x will create a list of persons, deceased in the past 30 years, who do not have any media of type = tombstone attached. This is useful, if you need to add data which can be found on tombstones, gravestones, headstones (like birth year, year of death, maiden name). Headstones are also a historical and cultural property, which should be preserved.

Installation

1. Extract the .tar.bz2 file to your webtrees/modules_v3-folder.
2. Go to the admin menu and modules, then enable the Missing Tombstones-Module.

Verification

To see if it works, open this link: module.php?mod=missingtombstones&mod_action=general

There should also be a menu link in the reports menu.

Usage

From the reports menu, select the link that says "Missing Tombstones". You should get a menu which looks like this:

Configuration

At the moment you can configure how many years the page should show. For this, go to the control panel, select Module Administration and click on the missing tombstones entry. You should now see a configuration page, where you can select the desired amount of years.
