Citation Issues

On page EE 458, "9.33 County-level Certificates" there are four example sources, two from Alabama and one each from Florida and Montana. The example reference notes for the Florida and Montana place the year in parentheses. The example reference notes for Perry County, Alabama specify the year "1908", but the year is not placed in parentheses. The example reference notes for Bibb County, Alabama don't mention a year at all.

Dear Editor,

Dear E. E.,

I am citing an abstract of colonial vital records for Rhode Island.  It was published over a span of about 20 years and includes 21 volumes of the entries/details from the vital record of various towns in Rhode Island from 1639 to 1850.  The compiler is noted as James Newell Arnold and there is no editor listed.

Good day EE editor,

I am continuing on my quest to gain a better understanding of the basics, at least that is where I think I am at right now. That is the problem with self learning I never really know where I am at.   

I use Archives Departementales du Bas-Rhin to research births, marriages, and deaths of my German ancestors from Alsace. I found a birth record today and need help creating a citation. 

Dear EE,

I am making my first draft registration card citation. I have consulted 11.1 and 
https://www.evidenceexplained.com/node/1887. In my case, I'm unable to establish that the record is on microform; and at Ancestry, I find the following alert:

• Not Yet Digitized. This Series contains records, none of which have been digitized.

My citation draft:

Hello,

I have reviewed previous submissions on this forum and also consulted Evidence Explained 9.48.  This is what I have come up with for a copy of a marriage certificate that was ordered from the Registrar office.  My concern is I didn't need to know if I needed to at that the marriage was solemnized at the Register office.  I have attached a copy of the marriage certificate. 

Thank you as always for your help,

Linda Rogers

Source List Entry (EE)

My attempt at citing this published annual report. I don't think the layers are right. 

When the name of a repository changes, e.g. from Office of Vital Statistics to Bureau of Vital Statistics to Division of Vital Statistics, etc., should our citation use the repository name on the document or the repository name as it was when we visited or wrote to the repository?

I have a similar question regarding changes of names for vital records; a generic death certificate might be preprinted with terms such as "certificate of death" or "medical certificate of death." Do we use the generic term or the term on the certificate?
