Perhaps I am overthinking it but it's just not clear to me the appropriate way to go. Melanie, you may be right about the "overthinking." You have an authored paper, and you have a website. That means you have two questions 1: What's essential for citing a paper that isn't published in print? 2: What's essential for citing a website? It doesn't matter whether it's a church history, a funeral home history, or a grocery store history. The basics are the same.

Thank you. Occasionally, I get in a "citation tangle" and can't see a clear direction! :) Sincerely, Melanie D.
