Citation Issues

I don’t know if this subject has been discussed before. I have a 1940 census. For the page (or sheet) number, there is number 3 written in and a letter A already pre-printed on the sheet.

Is the page number, when used in the citation, considered penned because the number 3 is written? What about the letter A? In my “version” of the citation, I used 3A but didn't indicate if it was penned or stamped?

Thank you,

Using the Private Holdings: Artifact model for photo collections.

I abstracted various newspaper records, vital records, warnings out of town and overseers of the poor records into 20+ databases. I created abstract summaries and exported them into four primary databases, then output them into pdf files and copied them into four MSWord documents and added introductory information.

I have shared the files with various individuals and organizations. One of the organizations is adding the information to their web server databases and I am providing them with copies of the abstract summaries from the 20+ databases in tab delimited files.

I need some help with my citation for the 1841 England census. EE  page 303 shows an example for the 1841 census.

This is my start for my  citation;

1841 census of England, Warwickshire, [city],  [parish], folio 6, lines 5-15, William Vero household; digital image  Ancestry.com, (http://www.ancestry.com  :  accessed 24 September 2004); citing PRO HO  107/1127/10

This is like asking, "I know it looks like a duck, it quacks like a duck; but is it really a duck?"

I am trying to figure out the citation for The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy.  It certainly seems to follow the pattern for a self-published work.  But I general think of these as books that are published by a person; with only one publication and a relatively some production.

I am looking at the explanation on how to cite SS-5s in EE, but one item isn't completely clear to me.  Is the date that should be included in the citation the date of application, or the date of birth on the application? 

I found a record for grooms married in the commonweath of Pennsylvania from 1885 to 1889 at http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r14-25RecordMarriages/r14-25-K-GroomInterface.htm The record that I am using is on page 16.  I have no idea how to cite this source.  Any help would be great!

Thank you

In my genealogy I use the day/month/year format, spelling out the month. I am working on some citations for newspaper microfilm. The microfilm does not have roll numbers they are labeled by a short version of the newspaper title followed by a date span. For example the microfilm has the following:

"Chaska VALLEY HERALD Jan 3, 1878-Sep 11, 1879"

The newspaper title is: The Weekly Valley Herald

In my citation I have removed the capitalization from the microfilm title. My question is should I reformat the dates for consistency or leave them as written?

In Evidence Explained! I see how to Cite a newspaper article in the Print form and the Online form. I have run across an issue where the Newspaper in question is on Microfilm. I understand that there are Microfilm templates and that is an option, but am wondering which would be the best to use. I like the Newspaper Name format, for either the Printed or the Online form of article.

Thank you,

I hold such things as:  birth, marriage, death certificates;  military personnel documents;  and divorce filings.  I consider these as original sources and as "unrecorded family copies," even though in most cases there is a filed copy and I know where it is filed and could probably get access (a photocopy).    I have 3 questions:  1) am I correct to consider such items as "legal documents unrecorded family copies"? 2) when I cite them, should I also cite where they are filed officially, if known?
