Hey all... thanks for the dialog. Here's what I currently built, using the Cemetery Records template.
University of Rochester River Campus Libraries—Department of Rare Books, Special Collections and Preservation, Mt. Hope & Riverside Cemetery Records Database and images (http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?page=3310 : accessed 5 May 2010), George B. Oswold (interred 10 August 1935); Mount Hope Cemetery Office. Italics are removed, of course, due to the Plain Text formatting. Some of the replies made an assumption that my source is a database—it is not. They are online images of the interrment books of each cemetery. The books were first scanned onto microfilm, and the microfilm rolls were made available online. The online images are hosted at the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries. So, in essence, its an online image provided by the U of R of a microfilm created by who knows of the official records of each cemetery. The index combines both of the cemeteries, although when you click on any particular link, you'll go to the image of a particular page of a particular microfilm sheet which is a particular page of a particular book of a particular cemetery. Whew! It's basically like HeritageQuest's images of the censuses, and thus probably should be cited similar to those censues (an example is below), but I'm not sure the best way to do this. Is my citation above adequate or would Ms. Mills shake her head and say "nice try, but ..."? 1900 U.S. census, Monroe County, New York population schedule, Rochester, enumeration district (ED) 44, sheet 2B, p. 12 (stamped), dwelling 29, family 32, George B. Oswald [Oswold]; digital images, HeritageQuest Online (http://www.heritagequestonline.com : accessed 8 May 2010); citing National Archives and Records Administration microfilm T623, roll 1074.
