I'm taking an informal survey to ask people which they would prefer. An entire county of tombstone transcriptions (42,000 entries) (no photos) presented: 1. In alphabetical order by surname with cemetery name listed (for those MD researchers familiar with 'Names in Stone' by Holdcraft, this would be an electronic version of a layout like in that book) 2. Separated listings for each cemetery I'd like to know which of those two formats would be your preference and which would you think most people would prefer to see on a tombstone transcription site.
