Greetings Randy:
I'm looking for some help in citing Obituaries. These obituaries come from GenealogyBank with various Newspapers--as you know.
For example, I have from GenealogyBank Obituaries from Newspapers:

Providence Journal
The Press of Atlantic City

So, in Family Tree Maker(2019), would I select Publications> Periodicals> Newspaper Article- online Archive (by Newspaper Name).
Enter Newspaper Name: Providence Journal (GenealogyBank)
State: Rhode Island
City: Providence
Item Format: databases or online images
URL?
Then, create another one for "The Press of Atlantic City"

Also, I have clippings from a Digital Database at The Digital Archives of the Bristol Phoenix (http://bristol.advantage-preservation.com ).
I would do the same as the Providence Journal and The Press of AC, right?

I have 85 obituaries I'm trying to add to the people and want to source them in my FTM.

Any help and guidance would be appreciated.
Hugh
