Here is  what I call a template. I use templates for my citations of
sources.

This is for  the 1850 Federal population census:

family  entry; p , lines , [city],  County, [state] Population of Census;
(National  Archives Microfilm Publication M432, roll ); Seventh Census of the
United  States, 1850; Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29;
National  Archives-Washington, D.C. Digital images, Ancestry.com,
http://www.ancestry.com:  date.

It is a  basic source template for the 1850 census that has been digitized
by Ancestry.  Many of my citations are to NARA microfilm which was used
before Ancestry et al  digitized the records.

The basic  template is what I want to copy to a new project. I do not want
to copy  source details, they vary with each person.  I literally fill in
the blanks  with the specific information on each family.

I must have 50 or more templates. I started doing  this when Visual Roots
went out of business. So how long ago was that?  It  was long before Legacy
was doing their version of source citation.
