Hi Debbie
In my case I have been starting out here and going to the link
http://www.progenealogists.com/genealogysleuthb.htm
in the dead center under tools that says
Genealogy Electronic Citation Guide
I think everybody should familiarize themselves with this link
and here is a more specific link to it
http://www.progenealogists.com/citationguide.htm
Hope it helps

> 1900 U.S. Census (population), Massac County, Illinois, NARA
