Citation Issues

Hello,

I’m trying to create a first reference and then subsequent references for a probate packet of loose papers, imaged on FamilySearch. The papers include the estate inventory, division among heirs, and etc. The widow later remarried and died shortly after and the packet also includes the “Return of Dower.”   

My target, William C Parker, has been playing hard to get for decades. I've nailed down some of his life, but except for a chunk of time in Itawamba, Mississippi, I don't know his birthplace, parents, or death. Knowing where he was at a certain date is helpful. 

Our new, wonderful, friend, the full-text search at FamilySearch found some records that put William in Itawamba in an interesting timeframe. The issue is that William is only on those records as the person who attested that the parties on the deed personally appeared in front of William. 

I have photocopy of a loose page, handwritten, which I know from the description is from the records of Henry Ritchie who recorded cemetery information in Pictou County in the 1950s. I don't know where I got it from, probably a record searcher in the 1990s. I know that the Pictou Antigonish Regional Library (and other archives) has a copy of the original. I don't want to imply that I have seen the original but would like readers to know how to access it. Here is my attempt:

I have a photocopy of an annotated family tree received years ago from Nova Scotia Archives, probably from them or a record searcher by mail. It consists of 5 pages taped together and laminated, possibly by me! Marked on the back in pencil, MG1 3296 no 6. The Nova Scotia Archives has details here: https://ns-archives.accesstomemory.net/jean-stewart-maclellan. Click on file list at the bottom for list of files. Here is my attempted citation:

On FS I found a birth source which takes me to a page that does not show the actual record.  The page provides the details:

Name, Cornelius Carmack; Sex, Male; Father's Name, William Carmack; Father's Sex, Male; Mother's Name, Jane; Mother's Sex, Female; Event Type, Birth; Event Date, 18 Jun 1736; Event Place, Frederick, Maryland, United States

Hello,

I am sorry to become a perennial nuisance on this forum, but I am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to accurately cite Records & Briefs from the New York State Appellate Division, which are contained within a published volume.

I'm trying to cite a government publication. On the title pages it states "Compiled Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior" and then names the compiler.  https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo.31924112812361&seq=7

I realize that we typically cite the agency as the author, but do we also cite the compiler when one is given?

I have the EE-book, ed. 3 (revised). I'm trying to decide what "style" of citation to use for the following case. I'm thinking that it lends itself to using something like the QuickCheck Model, Archived Manuscript Records (Series as lead element in Source List). If there is a more appropriate "style", I would appreciate hearing which one is recommended.

Situation:

My grandmother was an ordained minister. I contacted the church that ordained her, to see if they had any records they'd be willing to share - specifically her ordination certificate. They advised that they don't maintain copies of the actual certificates, but what they do maintain is a "Registration Form for Ministerial Office." A copy is below. I'm trying to figure out how to cite this. I did receive it as an image copy, but via e-mail from the church office.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to appropriately cite to declassified FBI reports that were obtained via FOIA.

The report's cover-sheet includes the following header:

 To cite to pages 19-20 of this report, I came up with the below based upon the "Research Report, Privately Held" model template:
