-Here are some idealized example citations as they might appear in the '''''Sources''''' field of a ''Family Group Record'' printed using the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) program. These footnotes mostly follow the ''Chicago Manual of Style''. Following the citation there is a list of the fields used in the PAF '''''Edit Source''''' and '''''Sources—Citation Detail''''' windows to create each source footnote. These footnotes are only suggestive models—other researchers may choose different ways to render the same footnote information.<br>
