Citation Issues

I am trying to cite a Citizenship file that I received from USCIS. It contains multiple documents including a request for information from a relative (a document I need to reference for the familial relationship), a duplicate certificate of naturalization, petition for naturalization, Alien registration form, and other documents.

This file is different for the naturalization records that I would get from NARA and therefore the citation should be different. I presume this file would have the same citation format as an Alien Registration file.

Main file:

Can someone show me how they reference a Passenger Arrival List (NARA digital image) that was viewed on Ancestry.com?  I want my sourcing to be as professional as possible.  Please be very clear what is the Source Information that goes in the initial template and what is the citation detail and take one step further to show complete reference note output. 

Here is what FTM has done automatically for me as the output in the Reference Note section.

I am citing some Parish Registers from Ireland. The register title is in Latin and for the most part the childs names are in Latin and occasionally the a parents name and sponsors name are in Latin. The priest used the following abbreviations fa for fila meaning daughter and fus for filius meaning son. Is this a common abbreviation or should it be noted in my citation.

Thank you,

I am struggling with how to cite digital images of Swedish church records. Both of the companies that provide access to them online, ArkivDigital and Genline, require downloading a viewer to access images. How should I note this in the citation, or should I at all. Should I just state that it is a digital image and put the website for the program?

On a seperate note, Genline has digitized the FHL microfilms while ArkivDigital is digitizing the original books. Should this be noted any where or assume that by going to company's website, this can be discovered?

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?
