Citation Issues

Dear Editor,

I have looked and seen a number of questions about City Directories, but didn't see my specific question. Also, I didn't see my specific question in Evidence Explained (2015). Not that I expect every situation / citation addressed.

The QuickSheet for Citing Ancestry.com Databases & Images (p. 2) for City Directories didn't address the Online Images that I am seeing on Ancestry.

I want to take a stab at a citation / Reference Note based on my genealogy database program that has an Evidence Explained Template feature.

Hello,
I am wondering how to cite a Galizien Village Family Book.  I obtained it from Galizien German Descendants website, http://www.galiziengermandescendants.org.  The books are a compilation of data from church records mostly.  At one time you could purchase a CD containing several of the books and now a book of a single village can be purchased.  The following is the title of one of the documents I have on one village:
Ortsfamilienbuch Alt Jazów/Galizien 1786-1870
nach Unterlagen der Genealogischen Forschungsstelle der Galiziendeutschen

Having received "QuickSheet: Citing Genetic Sources for History Research," I am still a bit confused on deciding how to handle citations for comparing multiple atDNA matches.  For instance, using GEDmatch, I am comparing various atDNA cousin matches with two specific testers (i.e. "constants").  Do I create a seperate reference note for each comparison with the two constants? Or is there an simpler way to cite multiple comparisons?

Hi,

I am trying to cite a large number of old photographs that have been handed down to me (through the family line) from my Great-grandmother, Doris Perrin. I need clarification in citing an individual photo:

Dear EE,

I've noticed that some publications use distinct numbering systems for citation (1,2,3...) vs. discursive (A,B,C,...) reference notes, with one category of notes grouped in endnotes and the other category becoming footnotes. Is this a practice that is welcomed or is it frowned upon? Would it be acceptible to use a "footnotes only" arrangement of reference notes with the distinct numbering systems intermixed?

EE, I am researching the neighbors of several different subjects within one case study. I am searching through marriage indexes for the indexed marriage record of each neighbor. I wish to see if the wife of each neighbor has a certain surname or not. I am using the index citation model on page 438. However, I need to list several index records, not just one as in the model. What is the best way to accomplish this withpout being wordy? T. Mills

Hello,

Citing a record from the internet is relatively straight forward. Ok it can have its quirks! My challenge is citing a digital image of a record that is only available on an intranet. I did a word search on my trusty electronic version of EE and intranet produced no results. 

The Minnesota Historical Society has an online website. On the internet you can view a "Birth Certificates Index." This index covers the years 1900-1934. However, when you are physically at the Minnesota Historical Society this same index also contains a link to the actual document.

Hello,

I am working on citing photographs that I have personal taken. The first bunch is primarily from cemeteries. My plan is to add the citation to the description of the photograph in my Ancestry tree. By adding the citation to the photograph anyone who links the photograph to their tree the citation goes with the photograph.

The following are two options I have come up with. The first is based EE 5.11. The second is based on Chicago Style.

Census of Ireland...are there models for these records in the new 3rd revised 2015 edition?

I am part of a private family group on Facebook where we share photos and information.  How do I accurately cite these posts when I use photos or relationship connections?
