Elizabeth, This is a most unusual way of recording data and not one that Legacy is really designed to accomodate. Nevertheless it should be possible. It is possible to have as many or as few Master Sources as you require and it is also possible to attach each Master Source to as many Events or Notes as you wish. With each Master Source it is also possible to add Details which can be different for each time the Master Source is used. So. On the Research Notes there is a little blue arrow on the top left hand corner of the screen. Click on this. It takes you to the Source Clipboard. Click "Set" to find your cemetery Master Source - if it's not there then click "Add" and put it in. Now add the details for the first person in the Details and Notes box underneath. Click OK. This returns you to the Research Notes. Click the little blue hyphen under the arrow and your source will be added to that person. Repeat for each person changing the details to suit.
