RE: QuickLesson 19 - Layered Citations / Penned Question

Dear Editor,

After our discusson on another question about Family Tree Maker, Templates vs Free Form, I went back to QuickLesson 19, to help me refresh my understanding of Layering. You layed out the layering very well, and I thank you.

In looking at QuickLesson 19, I was reminder of at least one place where I saw the Website Title show up.

Getting contact from someone at Evidence Explained

Forgive me for pasting my message here but I have been trying for days to contact whoever is in control at Evidenceexplained.com with no such luck.

I purchased a copy of the digital book but haven't received it yet after several days - can somebody please reply to one of my emails (check your spam folder).

 

Thank you,

Jennie Fairs,

Citation conundrum

Hello,

I have a series of  newspaper articles that were originally published in The Greenwich Journal and Fort Edward Advertiser (Greenwich, NY) between 1955-1958. There is a total of 86 articles. They were written by the Argyle Town Historian. I only have the clippings of these and not page and column information and there maybe some confussion on which actual newspaper they came from. I am working to sort that issue out. These articles were each given an article number ie. "article 51"

Citing Eastern European Vital Records

Greetings from an Evidence Explained newbie!

I am trying to figure out the proper way to cite 19th century Eastern European vital records. Specifically, they are Polish records (written in Russian). They are scans sent from a branch of the Polish State Archive, and are not "church records."Also, the records were obtained using index information from http://jri-poland.org (if you are familar with that site). 

Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Online Image Databases and FTM family tree maker 2014

Ok, so I've looked around a bit and did some searches and didn't come up with a satisfactory answer or workaround, so I'll try here.

My EE is getting tattered and so are my nerves with FTM.

Here is the image I'm citing:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-31555-12393-58?cc=2061550&wc=MX1D-H68:353350501,353350502,353355801

The citation with the image is:

Naturalization Soundex Index Card

I'm having trouble crafting a citation for an online image of a Soundex index card for naturalization records.  I realize that I should try to acquire the actual naturalization paperwork, but until I can afford to order it, I'd like to simply cite the online image which contains some good information, including my ancestor's name, address, country of allegiance, date of naturalization, and witness's name and address.

Here is the link to the actual image at FamilySearch I'd like to create a citation for.  I've also uploaded an image below.

Title vs. Generic Description

I've noticed that generic descriptions for a birth/marriage/death certificates used in citations rather than the titles of those certificates.

For example the image of the death certificate used in EE 9.33, Oneline Databases & Images (County Level), example (3) shows heading "State of Tennessee, State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Certificate of Death".

It's cited in EE 9.33 like this:
Shelby County, Tennessee, death certificate no. 114 (file no.) 116 (reg. no.), "Infant Day," ...
