I continue to be uncertain about the typical or appropriate or better way to cite certain aspects dealing with census images.
I am looking at the QuickCheck Model Microfilm: Population Schedules 1880-1940 on page 248 (third edition).
The first reference note includes both page 246-B (stamped) and sheet 12-B.
I am trying to construct a citation for an online image of a typescript (published) that's a collection of abstracts of wills. I would like to include the citation to the original source given in that collection.
Since this is an online image, I thought the citation should lead with the item in the image (as if I'm citing the original). I couldn't figure out how to cleanly include the citation to the original records, so I rearranged the layers of the citation, and ended up this way:
I think I have a doozy of a citation problem for you.
I am trying to write a reference note to a Savannah, Georgia cemetery & burial register on Ancestry.com.
The database on Ancestry.com is titled “Savannah, Georgia Cemetery and Burial Records, 1852-1939.”
So, if I put my ancestor's name, Lizzie Sample into the search fields, an entry comes up for her on the results page. For that image I wrote a citation like this:
I have been searching and searching and I am just not sure how to deal with this at all. I'm trying to create a citation/template my my sources from the Tanguay Collection. I have multiple digital images that I have downloaded but I'm having difficulty deciding how to even start. Should it just be treated as an book with online images? I do realize that if a website has reproduced the copy online I will need to cite that webpage and not the item directly but I'm just not sure what category it would fall under.
Any direction would be much appreciated.
I contacted the Smith Library of Regional History in Oxford, Ohio for assistance in obtaining information on a person who had taught at the local university in the 1830's. In turn, they contacted the university's archives which sent them a two page paper that had been prepared at some point in the past which extracted and compiled references to this person from the university's board of trustees' meeting minutes journals and various other publications about the university. This two page paper was then forwarded on to me as an attachment to an email from the regional library manager.
How best to cite an original personally held document (baptism cert.) for which there is either a record entry or copy of the certificate in a church (Anglican) archive or record repository. Seems there is no way of knowing if the archived item is an entry in a record or a copy of the actual certificate.
Thanks!
I just recently discovered EE and I love it! I am currently trying to update all my citations, but I have one that is stumping me. I recenly found a land grant with an online image of the documents at the Texas GLO website. My first problem is that I cannot figure out if I should be citing this sources as a database or an archive. My second problem is the documents are an online image of the original documents kept at the Texas GLO Archives, so if I am not mistaken I am going to need to have 2 layers to the source, a layer for the actual document and a layer for the website.
This is one incredibly basic question but I still need to ask it to confirm: when creating a new Source Citation on FTM, should it be written in the format of a Source List Entry or a Full Reference Note?
If I am stating several items over multiple sentences relating to one source, do I place the note after the first sentence in the sequence or the last?
Example 1, with note on the first sentence: In the 1900 census, John was living in Crawford County, Indiana.1 He was working as a farmer. His wife Sally and their three children were living with them.
Hi. So I created abstracts of several census records for an NGS assignment. In the assignment I had to also include a picture of the evidence I used, which were digital images from Ancestry. When I made my source citation of the abstracts I had created, the grader said that they shouldn't be identified as abstracts and that they should be cited just as the census records I had cited.
