It seems like it should be a simple question.
I am using a book that is available on Archive.org as a source for multiple citations. I am having trouble deciding on how to identify the author. The link to the book of interest is https://archive.org/details/catalogueofoffic00washrich.
It appears that Newpapers.com uses either a former or latter title to describe some of their newspaper collections rather than the actual title of the newspaper. For example I have an article from the 20 November 1886 edition of the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette which Newspapers.com refers to as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette was published between 1877 and 1901 and after a number of name changes became Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1927. I have used a note at the the end of my citation using EE 14.22, bottom of page 80.
Hi,
I want to refer to a book that's part of a 4-volume set, privately printed. The volumes I got from the library have confusing printing dates and editions on their title pages:
I am writing a family history and I'm including my grandchildren. I don't have a copy of their birth certificates but was actually present at their births. What is the correct way of citing this?
I hope this won't come across as a stupid question, but I have a document that is not quite fitting into a citation format. It is a Certified Copy of an Entry of Marriage. My father was married to his first wife in 1943. It was a civil ceremony. The record is a vital record of marriage, but not a parish marriage certificate as was issued in a church. The marriage was solomnized in The Registry Office for the Maidstone Registry District in Kent County.
In this thread from four years ago, EE lays out the following citation pattern:
I was hoping to obtain clarification about sourcing the GRS - Descendants Database on the dar.org website. I am finding conflicting information between "Citing, Quoting and Reproducing DAR Sources PDF that is available on the dar.org site and EE. It seems that DAR is stating to use the term Genealogical Research System (spelled out) and is italized where EE 4.20 pg. 196 has DAR Library italized. Also, in addition to listing the entry for the relative that I am sourcing for, would you also cite the member name and National ID# for the descendant?
This is my full reference note for a death notice found in a newspaper:
“Ellenville News”, _Kingston (New York) Daily News_, 26 August 1950, p. 2, col. 5, “Miss Christine Stahl...” death notice; digital image of microfilm copy, _Fultonhistory.com_ (http://www.fultonhistory.com : accessed 3 December 2016); use “the exact phrase” search term: “Kingston NY Daily Freeman 1950 Grayscale - 3516”.
Does anyone use permalinks in citations? Most record images viewed online from FamilySearch have an associated permanent URL (the link that they include in their citations). Even Ancestry.com has relatively short URLs that will bring you to the exact image.
I really like the idea of using these links because there have been times when a client comes back for new research, and I can very quickly pull up relevant records.
Greetings:
In the past 7 years our Diocese has closed/merged one-half of the parishes--128 to 64.
I have written and received a copy(for genealogy purposes) of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation certificates---information taken from a Sacramental Register.
