QuickSheet: Citing Ancestry Databases & Images Evidence Style, Second Edition, Revised

Ancestry is the largest and most widely used genealogy site on the Internet. Get back to a specific record or lead others to the same record; and you need to identify your sources, to verify and cross-check them for accuracy, using the correct citations to Ancestry’s online databases and images. The new Second Edition, Revised provides the most current information on Ancestry’s content and contributors, and how to cite them.

For most Ancestry.com sources, sample citations are shown here in three styles: Source List Entry, Full Reference Note, and Short Reference Note, each showing you how to deal with author/creator, title, website, URL, date accessed, item type, source of sources, and so forth. Arranged in tabular format under each of these headings, the sample citations are easy to follow and can be applied to your specific needs in citing your sources.
