Hello,
I have a ship passenger list that I have viewed on Ancestry.com. This is the citation that I have written:
Source List Entry (EE)
“California, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists, Roll 5: 1882-1959.” Database with images. Ancestry. http://www.ancestry.com : 2008.
First Reference (EE)
In Australia (and I imaging in the US) there are often graves on private property (i.e. not in a formal cemetey). We call them lonely graves. Looking at EE 5.13 and 5.14 there is still a cemetery name listed. 5.14 says you should also note the access road. A lot of these lonely graves have NO public access. The owner of the land would have to give you permission to cross several of his fields and/or paddocks to get there. The property sometimes has a name, and it will have a street where it's main entrance is, but this may be no where near the grave.
Hello,
I have some marriage certificates and birth certificates that I purchased at the county clerk office. I am trying to cite one of those marriage records. Here is what I have done so far:
Source List Entry (EE)
California. Los Angeles County. Marriage Certificates. Registrar of Vital Statistics, Los Angeles.
First Reference Note (EE)
Los Angeles County, California, marriage certificate no. 3353 (1948), Rogers-Burn, Registrar of Vital Statistics, Los Angeles.
I am in the process of cleaning up and improving the consistency of my citation templates in my database and am looking for guidance on terminology to use with citing digital images located on FamilySearch, or other site that have not been indexed.
Many of the examples and QC Models use the term "Browsable images" to describe the item type/format, but I can also find examples where the term "Digital images" is used.
I located the original alien enemy registration forms that my ancestors filled out with the Fort Wayne Police Department in 1918. The local museum, which currently houses these records, was kind enough to supply me with a photocopy of each page of the completed form. I believe after reading chapter 8, the citation would read like this, but I am not sure. The affidavits were originally kept at the Fort Wayne Police Department and feel that needs to be part of the citation, but not sure where that would go. How do I fix this citation?
I am trying to cite The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies using the basic format for books as a starting point and incorporating guidance and examples from EE 11:24-11.25 Some of the unique aspects of this work present some additional challenges and questions. As a side note, although this work is also included in the U.S. Serial Set which is covered in 13.26-13.40, they were also published as a stand alone work which is what I am trying to cite.
Hi,
Something has been bugging me for a while, and I haven't been able to come to a conclusion, so I now turn to you for guidance.
I am citing a digital image of a microfilm publication available from the Archives.gov website. The images were digitized by The Genealogical Society and are also availbe on the FamilySearch website, but the quality of the image from the Archives website is better.
If I were siting the image from Family Search, I would use a three layer citation with:
Dear EE,
I’m currently researching ancestors from Dorset, England and have adopted a database-first citation style that I found in your exchange with Jennifer, beginning 11/10/2019 (Layering Citations | Evidence Explained.
Following that model, I’ve created a first reference footnote for the baptism of James Welch:
I am looking for a new way of citing references during presentations. Putting references in a tiny box at the bottom of the slide seems to defeat the purpose of citing references, to tell where I found that information and to give credit to the author. Besides that, people are squinting at the slide trying to see what it says instead of listening to the discussion. I would much prefer to put the citations in the handout where people can read them later and refer to the source if they wish. My problem is that I have not been able to find an example of this, or how I could do this within
