Some older records kept in ledger type format may have no page numbers that can be used to create a citation or provide a detailed reference. There are probably other guides you can use so that you or someone else can later get to the same page in the work. Is the entry a baptismal entry from 1850? Is it a funeral entry from 1812? Are the entries numbered individually? Is the record organized alphabetically by farm name (as sometimes happens in Sweden)? There’s probably a way you can create a trail to get back to that page–just don’t forget to do it.
