Do you have a Family Tree Webinars subscription? Most of the webinars are
only available for a brief period (I believe 7 days or less) after they
have been presented. Registering for a webinar does not mean that you can
watch the webinar anytime you desire unless you do have a subscription.
Here is how I do it. I record the source using this template….
Cemetery Records Grave Markers, Plaques, Tombstones, Monumental Inscriptions
Grave Markers, Rural (most of mine are rural)
Here is how my citation looks:
