This is the reason why I am confused. For example I can cite a Ancestry.com record by address one of multiple ways.
1.) The primary URL of the site. 2.) The URL of the database. 3.) The URL of the record itself. I would think that #3 if possible is desirable. However that is not possible due to the way that SourceWizard is setup. So should I be using 1 or 2. Why is it also setup so that I can not cite based upon #3.
