chicago style, extra comma after author in footnotes

macmenzy
Hello. I am getting two commas after the name in my chicago style footnotes. can this be fixed?

example: Beaver, , “From Herbert Beaver to committee of the Aborigines Protection Society in London.”

Happens in the first instance as well: Herbert Beaver, , “From Herbert Beaver to committee of the Aborigines Protection Society in London,” 1842, Oregon Historical Society Research Library

Help!

    shouldn't happen (and doesn't if the data is in order.
    Which Chicago style?
    Could you tell us exactly what is in which field of the respective item and what item type?

    never mind, it was my data. turns out when I grab a source from some catalogues the names come with a comma, and then zotero also inserts a comma and that seems to be the problem.
