Denis, I learned how to do a citation on one of the courses from the National Institute of Genealogical Studies, they have several and very useful courses that I have been doing since 2011 in order to have a certification. Several are the ways of doing a citation, National Archives has it is own way of doing it.
The course recommended, between others, the book Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian, from Elizabeth Shown Mills, a small but very detailed book on several types of entries we face on our daily research. I adapted what I learned from the course and book and created a "primary citation" for the parish records we find in Azores. The primary citation is very useful if you, or anyone else, needs to see that record again, or go in person to the Library. Lets see one record, from my family; one of the oldest ones that I have on my Drummond side of the family. It is a baptismal record; note that the book is unpaginated, but as the dates are arranged in a cronological way, having the date of the baptism is crucial to locate it. I did not mention the link to the document, on the citation, as it may change over the years. For those willing to see it, the link is: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SAOSEBASTIAO-B-1611-1687/TER-AH-SAOSEBASTIAO-B-1611-1687_item1/P52.html Below is the *primary citation* for this *baptismal record, *bibliographic entry is different than this one. Anna [f. Francisco Ferreira Dormonde m. Barbara], baptismal record of 26 Jul 1616, Registros Paroquiais da Ilha Terceira, Municipio de Angra do Heroismo, Vila de São Sebastião, Matriz da Vila de São Sebastião, 1611 – 1687, unpaginated, arranged by date. Biblioteca Pública e Arquivo Regional de Angra do Heroismo, Angra do Heroismo, Ilha Terceira. I hope this will help you and others that need to make a primary citation. If you or anyone needs further information, just send me a private email.
