Ok, here we go....Image one which I must add, you are getting the actual formatting of the link down quite well, no worries there but, and this is the reason you have the two weird links:

[1] <ref> Personal recollection of events witnessed by Donna (Deckard) Chafin as remembered 28 Jan 2020. </ref>

This is what it should have looked like:

<ref> United States Census, 1920," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MF4L-B3B : Hazel Ashman in household of Robert Ashman, Wildcat, Tipton, Indiana, United States; citing ED 206, sheet 11A, line 49, family 244, NARA microfilm publication T625 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1992), roll 466; FHL microfilm 1,820,466.</ref>'<ref>Personal recollection of events witnessed by Donna (Deckard) Chafin as remembered 28 Jan 2020. </ref>

It won't let me highlight the text in a separate color as I wanted to do, it would make it much easier for you to see. You had already linked the census image to your mother in the main body of text, then you linked just to the image in example 1, then you placed yet another reference to a source right behind it. That's why you had the [1][2] appearing in the middle of you page with no wording. Now the citations will appear as they should in the reference section below.

I sent you an email with screenshots of everything I did in your mom's bio section so that you can see the actual coding and how you can combine references to different sources all in the same line.

Hi Greta...I received my FamilytreeMdna results yesterday. Also I Recently sent my AncestryDNA kit back. Perhaps I’ll have in 5-6 weeks. I really haven’t a clue how to interpret the mdna results. I’m just easing along and trying to read “how to” articles. I’m going to use my age (76) as my defense...<grin> I’m currently caught up in my attempts to share what family history I have with cousins and a great niece who shows some interest. With that I’m going to return to my profile and fill in some blanks.
