How do I cite sources in my family research?

Citing sources in family research is crucial for credibility. You can use formats like APA, MLA, or Chicago style. What type of sources are you using?

I have some books and online articles.

For books, you can format it like this in APA: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of work. Publisher. For online articles, include the URL at the end.

What if I found information on a genealogy website?

For genealogy websites, you can cite it like this: Author (if available). (Year). Title of page. Website Name. URL. Make sure to include the date you accessed it.

Can you give me an example of a citation for a specific website?

Sure! If you used Ancestry.com, it would look like this: Ancestry.com. (n.d.). Family trees. Retrieved October 1, 2023, from https://www.ancestry.com/family-trees.
