Citation Issues

I'm still getting acclimated to these short-form birth certificates, including those I've inherited. I inherited the certificate in the attached image after I had already ordered and received a short-form from the local office (and you so generously helped me cite a few weeks ago). How is this citation for the record in the attached image?

City of Albany, New York, Division of Vital Statistics, certificate of birth (short form), no. 1-299178 (1922), Marianna Maccarello, born 27 October 1900; inherited as part of the estate of [name], 2017; privately held by [name].

My dilemma is how to cite an online death certificate from FamilySearch, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9Y4-J9CR-P. 

EE4, pg 450/451, Section 11.39, State Level Certificates, Online Images, template 5 complex website, looks like correct.

Then considering Emphasis on Record or Database; section 3.16 indicates that Emphasis on Record is typically used when we have only a few documents from an online database.  Emphasis on Database, section 3.16 indicates it is typically used when we have many documents from a single database.

FamilySearch continues to confuse me at every turn. I’ve spent most of the day trying to find the best way to cite a naturalization record, so either I’m overthinking it, or FamilySearch is doing what it does best.

The Source List Entry for the two examples has the descriptor in uppercase "Database".  I would have thought that it should be in lowercase "database"

I have been researching on Matricula and have found records from the various towns in Bavaria where my mother's family is from.

Some towns have several parishes, while some smaller towns, do not list a parish. 

For those with parishes, I crafted the citation below. I believe I have shown what I looked at, the diocese where it was found, and where I found it. Does this look correct?

Also, if I have a small town without the parish name, just the name of the town, do I note this in parenthesis?

I'm creating Family Tree Notebook pages for most of my ancestors and the documents and images I have related to them. Along with images (like the one attached), I want to include correct footnotes at the bottom of each page.

Here is my first official attempt at an EE citation! Her legal maiden name was Marion Meccariello. 

I am trying to determine how to properly cite this artifact which is in my possession.























Using EE8 Template 7, I get:

I am trying to add the digital layer on to a fairly complex citation generated by ORA.

The original from ORA:

The National Archives in Washington, DC; Washington, DC, USA; Consolidated Lists of Civil War Draft Registration Records (Provost Marshal General's Bureau; Consolidated Enrollment Lists, 1863-1865); Record Group: 110; Collection Name: Consolidated Enrollment Lists, 1863-1865 (Civil War Union Draft Records); NAI: 4213514; Archive Volume Number: 2 of 3

Seems to me to duplicate information needlessly. I have shortened it to:

Reclaim the records have published lots of collections on the Internet Archive (as well as other places). Those on the Internet Archive can be accessed via https://archive.org/search?query=Reclaim+the+Records.

I use Roots Magic for my main genealogy software and I'm trying to massage the citation template to cite a Patent Image I pulled from the BLM GLO website. Here is my citation:

Bureau of Land Management, "Land Patent Search," images, General Land Office Records (https://glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx : accessed online 6 August 2025), entry for state volume patent issued 1 December 1860 to Joseph Williams (Elmore County, Alabama) cash entry patent no 52594; Greenville Land Office, Alabama.
