Several observations and questions come to mind. Is this a reference note citation? If so, the compilers' names should be cited in that style rather than source list style: Wm. Prack and Caroline (Ebling) Bindon. If the source is a typescript or manuscript, then the exact title would be enclosed in quotation marks and identified as such along with its date of creation. When and from whom a copy[?] was received should be stated. That person's explanation of the document's provenance should be included. As a rough example: Wm Prack and Caroline (Ebling) Bindon, "Relative the History of the Prack Family before 1970," typescript dated XYZ; photocopy supplied by XYZ person on XYZ date; citing C. Fuller, daughter of Caroline (Ebling) Bindon. On 1/25/2015 3:43 PM, Michelle Goodrum via wrote: > I want to bounce a citation off the group.
