In going through various submittals I found that the guidelines 
were not clear on one point. The entry should contain 
(in the following order) 

taverner's name: last, first in bold (followed by (ET) if established) 
location (city or county), colony
date of licensing or operation 
a period 
author's name: first last 
name of the book in italics
publishing information in parentheses – no comma before the left paren, one after the right paren
page number without the word page
a period 

For example 
St. John (Sention, Sension), Matthias (ET), Norwalk, CT, lic. 
17 Dec 1678. Edwin Hall, The Ancient Historical Records of 
Norwalk, Conn. (Norwalk: 1847, repr. Bowie, MD: Heritage 
Books, 1997), 70.

The reasoning is that some one scanning through for specific data 
would first be interested in the name, then the location, and 
then the date. An only if he/she does a Bingo! would they be 
interested in the citation.  Since we are going to have 
thousands of these entries it is important that they be consistent.

One tip to make it easier.  If you are extracting many records 
from the same book replace the citation except for the page 
number with a goofy code like dqw2.  Then you can type in the 
correction citation once.  Go to edit > replace and tell the 
computer to replace all instances of the goofy code with the 
citation that you have copied with a Ctrl-c.  Use different 
goofy codes for different citations.
