Cite Your Sources (Source Footnotes): Difference between revisions

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>
