I have had a Hotmail account for approaching twenty years now. It has always been relatively slow as being web-based, connection speed and other factors come into play prominently.

However in its Outlook guise there is something else. There is now a script to furnish an advertising sidebar on R.H.S. If like me you run an ad-blocker it complains bitterly and takes an age to do anything. This I reckon is a deliberate ploy to get you to accept all the b****y ads or pay them (M$) for "ad-free Hotmail". They'd better not hold their breath waiting for me!

Gmail is now my 'primary' too and I only use Hotmail/Outlook for commercial contacts that are likely to result in a welter of advertising.

It has to be remembered that Scottish Clan names were originally applied to Kith (supporters, adherents, gang members, depending on how you look at it  ) as well as Kin (the family of the Clan chief).

Hi Malcolm,
               According to my reference book which is now quite a bit out of date, <BASEFONT> is a tag that is only fully recognised by Internet Explorer, the font name and color attributes especially. Firefox prides itself on being standards compliant. Enough said I think. 

I suggest you alter your approach to CSS to get the ouput you want.

I have to pose the rhetorical question," If the family didn't want their relatives' place of interrment known and seen, then why did they place a headstone there in the first place?".

The other alternative for your Ipad is to convert your tree data to a web site, transfer to the Ipad by whatever means are available and use a browser to reference the tree. Most FH software has such a conversion facility - some are better at it than others and more compact. I use a little bit of Freeware called Gedmill. For each individual Gedmill displays a three generation tree and all that individual's details and notes. It ain't perfect but has proved very useful in the three years I've been using it.
