System Requirements

Adobe Acrobat version 5.0 or greater is required to complete this form. Either the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software or the full distribution of Adobe Acrobat can be used for this purpose. Both products are available from Adobe Systems. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader is free, and can be obtained for your specific operating system by following the link at the left, and will maintain compatability with previous versions of the product that you may have used.

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader there is no capability of saving data entered for importing back into the application form at a later time. You can, however, save the blank form for reuse.

The full distribution of Adobe Acrobat does allow saving and retrieval of data, but is a product that must be purchased.

If you are currently connected to the Internet you may test your configuration of Adobe Acrobat by clicking here. You should first see the Acrobat introductory "splash screen," and then after a few seconds a message will appear in a new browser window informing you of the version of Acrobat being run, and indicating whether or not it meets the minimum required version. After clicking "OK" to that message a simple Adobe PDF form should appear containing two blank fields where the current date and time at Greenwich, England can be displayed. The Adobe Acrobat Reader software is configured correctly if you can see this information. You should also be able to update or erase the date and time by clicking on the appropriate button at the bottom of the form.


Submission Instructions

The state society will verify the deceased member information, sign this form where indicated, and forward the form and the $10.00 processing fee to the National Society office for final approval.

Upon final verification by The National Huguenot Society, this form will be returned to the submitter to forward with full payment for the grave marker to the authorized firm which will reproduce the insignia.
