James Ancestry's actual source *is* the Missouri marriage records from the various counties -- that's why I use the phrase "citing Missouri Marriage Records. Jefferson City, MO, USA: Missouri State Archives. Microfilm."
Also, I've been trying to follow Elizabeth Shown Mill's EE models, so that's why I don't use the long URLs. They are subject to change as the database creator rearranges its databases. I used the generic online database to get my citation, and if I remember correctly, I had to add the words "and images" because the database includes images of the actual marriage record.

As such, I think you are suggesting State Archives be listed as the primary source but include a snippet about found at Ancestry. This is what I was trying before asking my question, but wasn't having success Do you have an example where you've done this? Or, what field are you using to include a note about the State Archives?
