Hello Paula, You are on the right track. To cite conform EE 5.21, use: "Books > Book, authored > Author known > Basic format" if the book is authored by individuals (of the genealogical society) and published by the genealogical society. "Books > Book, authored > Authored by an agency > Basic format" if the genealogical society is the only author and publisher. In both cases the publisher does not necessarily have to the genealogical society.
To complete the citation, add the volume (if applicable) and page number(s) in the details section. The page number can, and probably should, be followed by a comma and then the details as shown in the example in EE 5.21. The actual text from the book is transcribed in the text/comments section of the source detail.

I have a book published by the local genealogical society that is a transcription of grave markers in a cemetery. In Evidence Explained, this document falls under section 5.21 on page 234; however, there is not a template in Legacy for "cemetery transcriptions" or section 5.21 or page 234. In EE, they say to cite as a publication, according to type--e.g., book, so I searched on book, but there are too many choices! I am leaning toward Books > Book, authored > Author known > Basic format, or ... > Authored by an agency > Basic format - but is a genealogical society an "agency" ? If you have experience with this sort of document, could you please share which template you have successfully used?
