No, they are my own design. Some follow Elizabeth Mills format and some, particularly census and military follow the National Archives and Records Administration [NARA] format. There is a very slight difference in the two. NARA always includes Record Group number and location where the record

That is correct. Since the husband is always on the left and the wife is always on the right the genders do not need to be identified by colour coding as well.
