Citation Issues

Citing record group and repository in subsequent note

Dear Editor,

I can't to wrap my head around subsequent footnotes. Is there any logic to when you cite the record group and repository in subsequent footnotes or is it just a matter of personal preference?

For example, in the Quickcheck model for Maps at the National Archives (EEv3, p. 543), the subsequent note cites RG 77, NA-College Park.

But the subsequent note Quickcheck model for State-level Land-Grant register (EEv3 p. 490) only cites the document and omits the series, record group and repository. 

another layed question - church records

OK, I promise I have some easier ones I am not posting about!!! I feel odd posting a second topic so soon after my first but...I will anyway.

Church records...I am dealing with English Parish Register Transcripts (aka Bishop's Transcripts) [7.38] with an online database with images [7.18] and original files that are now at an off-site archive [7.12] on top of the original records being files instead of a book/volume.

I have come up with:

cite NARA or not

I am working on ICAPGen certification and I am using Legacy 8 Delux.

this is my citation

 

1910 U.S. census, Sangamon, Illinois, population schedule, Gardner Township, enumeration district (ED) 169, sheet 6A, p. 169, dwelling 99, family 100, Andrew Minder household; digital images, FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org : accessed 13 Nov 2015); citing National Archives andRecords Administration microfilm T624, roll 324. I have be advised by one of the Mentors that using the world citing should not be used. Yes use or Not.

1841 England Census and "the art" of working with my program

Hello! I am a brand new EE3 owner...had it about a week. Read Ch. 1-2 and will do so again but decided to have a look at a source I was currently using...the 1841 England Census via FindMyPast. And to be clear, I view the actual digital images, I do not use the provided "transcription."

The following is the draft of what I came up with in studying Ch. 6 and applying it to what I was using:

Find a Grave Citations

"Find a Grave", database, Find a Grave (http://www.findagrave.com : accessed 11 Octr 2015), memorial page for Bertha M Plunkett Minder (1877-1937), Find A Grave Memorial no. 22720566; citing Salisbury Cemetery, Salisbury, Sangamon, Illinois, USA;  the accompanying photographs by Gary L Otten; created originally and maintained by Marge, and are materially informative, but do not provide a legible image of the inscribed data.

 

Shoud I say no tombstone has be set?

Hospital issued birth certificates=family artifact how to cite in Family Tree Maker

At first it was unclear to me after multiple scans of EE (2015 edition) how to cite a hospital issued birth certificate. (BC) For example I have my own BC from a hospital issued many years ago ... a printed form with blanks for data, all handwritten about my birth date, time of birth, parents name (although just Mr & Mrs. MY DAD'S NAME) ... with signatures by the hospital administrator, attending physician, and one other unidentified signature, as well as a foil (bronze/gold colored) leaf stamped symbol for the hospital 'certification'.

Website with Multiple Transcriptions

I'm struggling trying to arrange a citation for a transcription from a website that contains multiple transcriptions from different people.

Normally, I would expect something like "Article Title," transcribed by <Transcriber>... but I don't really recognize an article title to use for this source. I've come up with this citation:
