Citations serve two main purposes. The first is to help us find the original source. If we are using an online copy of a record, we need to also indicate the citation of the offline original. This isn’t as hard as it may sound. Reputable websites like Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org provide both citations for you.

The second purpose of citations is to help us quickly judge the strength of a source without having to find and look at it. In particular, we indicate if the source is an index only, images, or both index and images.
