Citation Issues

What is the difference between a "State" and "Local" certificate, like death, birth etc.?

I am new to creating source citations.  I'm using RootsMagic 7's Master Sources and Source Details templates.  

I  will have many citations from NEHGS's Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records database with images on American Ancestors.  Before I move forward with citing the many records I will eventually find in this database I would like to know if I am on the right track with the citations below I have created for my grandfather's record.

The record URL is:

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;
