They will be truly custom once you start tinkering with them to suit your
needs. On the other hand, if you're importing data, I'd stick to getting
your data settled into the right places before worrying too much about the
source/citation format. I'd say it's more important to have the
*information* in the source than to have it print in the correct order. (or
even at all, at the beginning) And while I'm an American, very little of my
data comes from the kind of sources that most of the templates were
designed for. I'd say the bulk of my sources are newspaper articles, state
and national censuses (3 different countries), and Scottish/Norwegian
parish records. (My family has not been here much over 100 years) If it
helps any, I use Federal Census for any national census, and Church Minute
for parish records. I will probably end up creating new categories, but for
now these are tolerable.
