Dear Editor,
One of my blog readers asked me how to cite a Canadian Census Record in Family Tree Maker 2014. I looked at the Census Templates that are available to me in FTM2014 and then went to QuickCheck Model; Derivatives: Database, Online on page 254.
In fact, your example was exactly what I was looking for. So, I created a short video on how I would handle that QuickCheck Model, as I was not given a specific example. (Video: 8:15)

I was then questioned again, with a specific example this time:
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1891canada&h=1405213&indiv=try
Gee, the same database as your example.
So, I did an update video (9:51):

Making one editing of the Reference Note (FTM2014 term) I ended up with:
Ancestry.com, "1891 Census of Canada", database, Ancestry.com, Operation, Inc (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 19 May 2014), entry for Elisabeth Cain (age 63), Huntingdon District; Franklin; citing Library and Archives Canada. Census of Canada, 1891. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Library and Archives Canada, 2009. <http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1891/index-e.html>. Series RG31-C-1. Statistics Canada Fonds. Microfilm reels: T-6290 to T-6427.
The big difference that I see between the QuickCheck Model is where I found the record. In my case, the one my reader gave be, was at Ancestry.com and not the Ontario Genealgical Society on page 254.
Thank you,
Russ
