Hello,
I have decided to go through the excercise of creating a source list entry, first reference note, and subsequent note for all of my sources. I hope I will get to the point where I "speak the lanage" so to speak and won't need the quick models, but untill then I run into problems when the models don't quite work. I used quick check model "website as a "book" on page 657.
Any feedback would be appriciated.
I am trying to cite the following http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/Mulon-MilonMobile10Feb07.pdf posted on http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/.
I used a citiation provided here (http://www.apgen.org/resources/worksamples.html) as a model and came up with the following full reference note:
Elizabeth Shown Mills, "Moulon, Milon, Millon of Mobile" report to private, 28 December 2005; posted at Board for Certification of Genealogist (http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/ : 4 Dec 2014).
Assuming that's correct, im not sure where to go with the Source listing and subsequent note. Just to take a stab at it:
Source Listing:
Mills, Eilizabeth Shown. "Moulon, Milon, Millon of Mobile". http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/. 2014
Subsequent Note:
Shown, Board for Certification of Genealogist, "Moulon, Milon, Millon of Mobile".

Hello, the1gofer!
Welcome to the site.
Your basic problem here is using the wrong model. It would be great if everything historical researchers use could be cited as a book. But most things can't—which, of course, is the reason EE exists.
What you have consulted is (a) a research report; that (b) is published or archived at a website. In your handy copy of EE, turn to the index and look up "research reports." That refers you to several examples—most of them in Chapter 4 (Business & Institutional Records). If you'll flip to the examples on pp. 203–5 (4.28 Historical Research Reports), you'll find an explicit example of a professional historical research report posted at that very website. It gives you all three forms of the citation: Source List, First Reference Note, and Subsequent Note (the short form).
