I think I have this one down, but I'd just like a review of what I created. The document is the arrival list for those entering Auschwitz who were not immediately sent to the gas chamber.
I am trying to cite an image from a bound volume of photocopies of NARA records that is contained in a collection at a library, but has also been imaged. Some examples on this site and EE indicate the website and the collection could be combined into one layer, but I don't see how to do that since the website collection and archive collection have different titles.
Dear EE,
I think I have lost the plot (again)! I have searched the forum for similar issues and have reread Quicklesson 26 once again (ARKs, PALs, Paths & Waypoints (Citing Online Providers of Digital Images), I am still confused.
I am trying to cite an entry in a Bishop's transcript, that has not been indexed but can be found by browsing. These were found via a search in their catalogue for England, Devon, Harberton.

I have purchased a digital PDF (by the UK Government Online Probate Search Service) of both a Will and Grant.
I believe them to be official transcripts and the database "Find my will" provides the option to (pay-for-images) of the document.
The PDF's are available for viewing for 31 days from the date of downloading the first copy and then they get removed from my account.
I'm new to "Evidence Explained" and unsure on how to write the citation for this. Is it possible to walk me through it?
I think I have this citation finally figured out, but would like a second opinion, please. I was searching for images of pin boys for a story that I am writing about my dad's first job. After opening many different links, I stumbled across this image. (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/540708) At first I was tempted to just download the photograph, but a little voice kept saying cite the source. So, I began making an attempt to understand what I found.
I've been building my family tree as a hobby for some time and have recently been informed of the importance of "correctly" citing your sources for future generations and for my own reference.
However, I'm finding it to be a very steep learning curve so thought I'd reach out for help to ensure I get it
"right" now, rather than having to correct it further down the line.
Hello EE,
Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year.
I am trying to cite the info from a website, but not sure if I have captured the correct formula.
Spreyton Village (Devon, England), Welcome to Spreyton (https://www.spreytonvillage.co.uk : accessed 8 January 2022) > St Michael's Church > St Michael's Church Monuments, entry under "Wall Tablets" for Thomas Hore Esqr of Nymph who died 25 May 1746.
I am going back through my previous collection of citations and trying to make them more in the EE style. I think I am getting the hang of layered citations and the velcro principle.
Hi,
I have a photocopy of a baptismal certificate for my great-grandfather Max.
I am struggling with identifying the appropriate document title for some passenger lists. I have searched through this forum and found several excellent posts to creating citations for ship's passenger lists. The following post states that the title of the record is the one printed at the top of the page in big type:

The heading identified is “List or Manifest of Alien Passengers for the U.S. Immigration Officer at Port of Arrival”. To me, the above is a very clear document title.
