I hope there's no monthly limit on posts, because I've come across one more conundrum.
I have a question when creating a citation for a record from a deed book that is part of a larger record group from FamilySearch then from courthouse records. I am critiquing a citations for my ProGen class and wanted a clearer understanding of how to list a record from a larger group to a subgroup to the specific item. I was rereading your book on pages 557-558. I think I been doing it backwards.
To start, Happy Thanksgiving Eve to those of you in the US.
I seem to be confusing myself with this citation. I am trying to cite an online image of a probate paper which is part of a packet. The probate took place in Blenheim, NZ and it is currently held at the Archives of New Zealand in Wellington. I am not sure if I need to record where the event took place and where to put it or if I should just record where it is currently being held. Does this work?
Hello,
I am seeking advice on how to cite a headstone in a cemetery. I saw it myself and took the photo myself. I do not need to cite Find A Grave or an online database. I simply need to cite the headstone itself. Thank you!
Just when I thought I understood citing my sources, I come across information about city directories and discover that I really don't have a clue as to what I am doing. Help is needed please as I try cleaning up my citations. I am struggling with the below citation. How do I communicate that I was searching the Allen County Genealogy Society webpage and through a link was directed to the Internet Archive webpage to view an image of this particular directory? I believe I have cited the image and then the website, but the source of the source is where I get confused.
I have a document from a client which appears to be a minister's return from a priest to the Jefferson County, KY court certifying the marriage of Edward Whalen to Mary Karlin on 18 December 1918. In looking through Evidence Explained, I cannot find an example of such a document. I'm not even sure of what to call the document! Attached is a photo of what the client characterizes as an original document in her possession. What form should a citation to this document take? What is the document, exactly? Thanks for any help.
I'm trying to create a citation for an entry found in a marriage register from St. Stanislaus Church in Newark, New Jersey. Despite reading through the QuickLessons and this forum, I'm still a bit stumped on the most appropriate format.
Here's what I've got so far:
Layer 1: St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church (Newark New Jersey), Parish Registers, 1889-1919, Matrimoniorum Registrum [Marriage Register],1907-1919, Pg. 50, Michaelem Roskaz and Mariam Jung, 05 February 1908;
Dear EE,
Punctuation has always been my Achilles heel. Faced with a punctuation question I will try to find an answer using Google. This time I was not successful. I have the attached newsletter clipping to cite. The clipping is from a newsletter, The Rose of St. Therese the exact issue and date are unknown but the article tells me that it was published in the summer of 1986.
Dear Editor,
I have read the QuickLesson 25 (many times) but I think I am really losing the plot today.
I am trying to cite a record found on FamilySearch, that has not been indexed, and is at this point of time, only found through browsable images. There is however, an ARK identifier that will lead directly to the image.
So far, this is what I have constructed:
