Nice to meet you!

Hi there!

Thank you for visiting this website! We’re Ada and Stan, the creators of Genealogy Citation Builder!

As two researchers, we know that it is important to accurately cite our sources – and we also know that it can be a big pain. In a chance meeting with an enthusiastic family genealogist, we learned that for family genealogists, that there wasn’t an easy tool to use to generate citations. Which makes it very hard to ensure that all of the citations meet the standards set in Evidence Explained.

As efficiency experts and engineers, we love saving time and we knew we could build a tool to save family genealogists from having to continuously reference the book and double check punctuation to cite sources. We suspected that most people got into family genealogy for reasons other than formatting source document citations!

With this inspiration, we created Genealogy Citation Builder. By using Genealogy Citation Builder, a family genealogist, like you, only has to select the document type, fill in the associated fields and generate a citation with a click of a button. From there the citation may be ported to a program of your choice. In addition, your generated citations are saved in the system for you to use in the future, or to use as a starting point for other citations. We hope you enjoy using this tool as much as we enjoyed creating it!
