Hello, thanks for the guidance in crafting citations for my research. Here's a situation that I haven't seen explicitly addressed in the book or quicksheet:
Hello Editor,
I was just entering a record into my genealogy software (Legacy) but wanted to run my citation by you, for opinion and further guidence if needed.
I recently commissioned some research from a company I have used in the past, to locate and copy records from microfilm held at the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland, for the Donacavey Church of Ireland (Fintona Parish, County Tyrone).
This is my current citation for one of the records provided.
In comparing/contrasting the QuickCheck Models for "Microfilm:Population Schedules" 1790-1840 vs. 1850-1870 vs. 1880-1940 (3rd edition pages 245, 246, and 248), I'm curious to learn why the enumeration district is only included for 1880-1940.
Thank you.
A distant cousin of mine just sent me a copy of a document that I have never seen before.
It is an “Application for Search of Census Records.” My cousin’s dad didn’t have a birth certificate so he had to fill this form out to get social security benefits. I guess this was in lieu of obtaining a delayed birth certificate. This form was completed in 1952.
I found this at NARA
https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/bc-600-2013.pdf
In a Wiki citation, the time the Wiki was accessed is required. Is militasry time used or is "a.m." and/or "p.m" include in the citation?
I have previously been citing any Find A Grave listings like this:
Find A Grave, Find A Grave, database with images (http://www.findagrave.com/ : accessed 11 Nov 2016), memorial #23397157, Rhoda Cole Stephens (1770-1821); citing Masonic Cemetery, Bunceton, Cooper County, Missouri, USA; gravestone photograph # 121450148 by Diana (#47342864).
May I please ask how you would cite a U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index 1936-2007?
I found this document listed on Ancestry.com's website as an index and would like to use this in my ICAPGen four generations paper.
I looked in your book Evidence Explained but did not find this specific document listed.
Best Regards,
Amy
I'm using a new database on Ancestry that pulls the images from Family Search (Kansas County Marriages, 1811-1911). The records are being indexed by Ancestry but the images of the document come from Family Search.
Instead of trying to figure out how to cite this, I thought I'd just go to Family Search and use that site. However, the record I'm after doesn't come up in a search of the Kansas Marriages 1811-1911 collection on Family Search.
I am attempting to source a CNN story properly via their online news source. Is the below citation correct?
1. Scott Bronstein and Drew Griffin, “A fatal wait: Veterans languish and die on a VA hospital's secret list,” 23 Apr 2014 (http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/health/veterans-dying-health-care-delays/: accessed 03 Jan 2017).
I'm trying to construct a citation for an image found at fold3.com. (I searched for stokesberry)
The url is: https://www.fold3.com/image/313179761/?terms=stokesberry
This is what I came up with, and wonder if it fits all the criteria for a solid citation, given that there are no image numbers and no page numbers given for the online image of the original:
