Just a little follow up to this thread. I ended up adopting Sue’s method. It freed up the Text/Comments field to enter the actual tombstone inscription. I used the fields on the Detail Information tab to fill in the credit line and memorial number (coupled with the deceased’s name in the Item of Interest field).

Then I end up with a Footnote/Endnote Citation like this: Find A Grave, "Find A Grave," database, Find A Grave (www.findagrave.com <http://www.findagrave.com> : accessed 5 Apr 2012), Henry Widick; Entry created by Gail Wenhardt, Sept 21, 2011 Find A Grave Memorial # 76873598. Many times a photo, or image such as your obituary may be, that has been added by someone other than the person who originally created the entry on Find A Grave. In that case, I add something like "Photo added by xxxxxx" to the Comments, so that both people who created the page are credited. -- Joan Powell -----Original Message----- From: BARTON LEWIS Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 8:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] obituary on website as source I want to use an obituary that is transcribed on a Find A Grave memorial as a source. I created a Master Source using "Obituary > Newspapers > Online images (issued by unrelated content provider)." On the Source Info tab I filled in the Source List Name and the Title only. On the Detail Information tab I filled in all the fields beginning with Article and down to and including Date Accessed. The output is as follows: "Clint A. ("Chip") Low," The Highlander News (Brownwood, TX), 25 May 2011, p. 37; digital images, Find A Grave (www.findagrave.com <http://www.findagrave.com> : accessed 15 Dec 2015). The problem is that I need to add the Find A Grave memorial # to the record. I had been doing that in the File ID field located at the bottom of the Detail Information page. But I now believe that to be wrong as this field is for some other intended use and, in any event, does not show up in any output that I can find. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to include the memorial # or how they would have handled this source differently?
