Ted, I would say that the photo is the record of your personally read headstone, and the cemetery is the source and/or the repository of those headstones.

I considered this approach. My concern is; If I take a couple of photos of a monument, say to get a closer shot of each spouse, do I end up having a bunch of sources, say Pic01.jpg, Pic02.jpg, and Pic03.jpg? Are individual photos my sources, or is the collection of photos gathered together from one cemetery trip and stored together (digitally) my source? If I went this route, I would cite my source as a "photo album" of tombstone photos and have a photo album for each cemetery. That is how I store them now. My hierarchy on my storage drive is Country - State - County - City - Cemetery Name - Date I believe that photos are just a method of transcription. They can limit some types of errors.

Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:46:20 +0000 Slightly tongue in cheek but my favourite quote at the moment is from Geoff - 'What have you got in your hand?'. The answer in this case is a photograph so that should be the source and the source detail self evident. Cemetery burial records would be another source. Just a thought. Graham From: Poppke Genealogy [mailto:ad...@poppkegenealogy.com] Sent: 11 March 2014 00:05 To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Question - Cemetery or Tombstone as the source? Hello, I photograph during cemetery trips and use the images as a source without transcription. I'm planning on listing the cemetery as the source, and record tombstone details as the various source details. Are there pros and cons to doing it this way? Would like some comments before I start.
