Cathy, I only use the generic source when I can't find one that suits my purpose. Find-A-Grave is the one I was working on and couldn't get it to appear the way I wanted it too. I've looked on the internet at how different people source Find-A-Grave and couldn't make it look like I want it to look. As far as I'm concerned Find-A-Grave is a repository, not an author or title. All my other database sources work rather well with some tweaking (Birth Certificates, Death Certificates, Marriage Licenses, etc). I'd like to hear how others are sourcing Find-A-Grave. Most of what I found on line referred to templates in other programs.
