The rules of Chicago Style are detailed in The Chicago Manual of Style. Chicago Style was first developed in 1906 by the University of Chicago Press to assist in proof-reading publications. It has now expanded to include writing, publishing, indexing and referencing.
Chicago is both a note style and an author-date style.
First Note - authors are written in full as they appear in the item e.g. John Andrew Wilson, Debbie M. Smith
Subsequent Notes - authors are given as surname only e.g. Wilson or Smith
Bibliography - First author is written as Surname, First Names, then all other authors are given as they appear in the item e.g. Wilson, John Andrew, Debbie M. Smith and Patricia Jones

You need to provide an in-text reference if you:
Note format - Chicago uses Arabic numbers to number references. The numbers are put in superscript e.g.1.
Footnotes or endnotes must start with a number corresponding to the number in text.
The first line of the note must be indented.

Notes may contain commentary on the cited source.
References are created using these style guidelines. They are then listed in a reference list or bibliography. This list is filed alphabetically by author, or by title if there is no author.
Sometimes if you are using the Notes format, you will need to compile a list of all sources used in your assignment/report. Your Reference list must provide full and accurate details, as it is the means by which the reader can follow up your sources.
Reference List / Bibliography entries are formatted with a hanging indent.
