 Citation style guides can help you capture all the information about a source that is necessary for others to evaluate the quality of the source, to find your source, and sometimes to find the source upon which your source was derived. In practice, style guides are not necessary when using the latest genealogy software because the software prompts you to enter source information into forms. You only need to fill in the appropriate boxes and the program formats citations appropriately. Style guides are only necessary when using software that doesn't have forms for the many different types of sources used by genealogists.<br>

 One citation style used by genealogists in the United States is Mills style. Mills is an extension of the [[Citations (Chicago Style)|Chicago Manual of Style]] (CMS) bibliography/note system. CMS is adequate for most published sources, but doesn't include many sources and elements about sources that are important to genealogists. Mills style is named for Elizabeth Shown Mills and is explained in her books (''Evidence<ref>to be added</ref> ''and ''Evidence Explained''<ref>to be added</ref>) and QuickSheets.
