Todd If your only source for a particular fact is a URL then I would not use it at all but find the real source behind the URL and use it. If you are using for eg. Ancestry as a source then if you actually have them detail the source( Ancestry does do that in Legacy if you let it) the entire source is actually there except for the specific repository. Most people I think are resourcefull enough if they wish to check your research will find a repository for a source and go and look it up themselves if it is that important to verify what you have written. Research papers only require a bibliography not anything more and that is all you are doing here. So write your source as you would a bibliography for a research paper. OR The North American and Canadian and British Genealogical societies and written papers themselves on how to use the internet as source material. Look up what they have decided is standard and go from there. cheers Vivien
