I do mine in the following format: Cemetery Transcriptions, Bell Cemetery, Northside, Wilbarger County, Texas
You could reverse this: Cemetery Transcriptions, Texas, Wilbarger County, Northside, Bell Cemetery If you are putting the name of the individual as part of the source name, you will create far too many sources. I put the name and lot and block number as part of the citation detail. This way when I clicjk on the source "Cemetery Transcriptions, Bell Cemetery, Northside, Wilbarger County,Texas" and select Show list I have everyone in that cemetery that I have verified. I use a similar format for all other sources. Censuses are arranged like this: 1850 US Census, Tennessee, Bedford County ED, page numbers and other info are in the detail. I can click show list for each county census and see who I have. I do the same with Birth Certificates, arranged by county and state, and many other sources since much of the info we access is arranged the same way. When you look for censuses, or cemetery transcriptions in the library they are filed or named by county. So it only makes since to do my sources the same way.

I would prefer not to create a separate source for each stone. It's handy to me for each cemetery, not each individual stone, to serve as a source. Is there a way to get the output I want without having to rig the input fields? What have others done who are trying to conform with the current genealogical citation standards? I'd love some ideas!
