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> | 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.

It can be difficult to construct a citation when no matching example is given unless you know the underlying principles. Mills does not provide a summary of the principles used for Mills style. This list is an attempt to provide that summary. As such, citations are given to Mills's works in support of each principle. | |||
