+[http://www.example.com link title][[Image:Family Group Record Frank1.png|thumb|Family Group Record Frank1.png]] [[Image:Family Group Record Frank2.png|thumb|Family Group Record Frank2.png]]Source footnote citations help us document, organize, and analyze the evidence gathered. They are the hallmark of quality family history.&nbsp;
 Ideally, every event on a family group record would have one or more source footnotes. The information about the event came from somewhere (even if it was guessed), so we should cite the source properly.

 === Citation Examples  ===
 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 first citation in each category there is a list of the fields used in the PAF '''''Edit Source''''' and '''''Sources—Citation Detail''''' windows to create that source footnote. All footnotes in this list are only models—other researchers may choose different ways to render the same footnote information.<br>
