Nancy, Thank you for your input. I tried the template you suggested and like the output. I'm assuming you put Find-A-Grave in the master source, which makes it the title, but I can live with that. My only question is what you do when there is no image. The footnote says "Find-A-Grave, database and digital images" from the master source. I find that confusing. I changed it back to digital images, but now need a template for when it is just a database, no image. If I use "Cemetery records > Compiled records: database online" it puts Find-A-Grave in quotations, as opposed to the image citation where it is italic. I like consistency, which is why I was using the override in the first place.
Also, the Bibliography says "n. d." What does that mean? Also, how do you document photos you personally took at a cemetery?
