I'm trying to follow Edition 4, using Template 10 for online images. Here is what I have for an initial footnote.
Why the change from digital image to imaged?
Just an item for the errata list...
If the 14 Template definitions are considered correct, and they appear to be, then 3.4 The Basic Seven" numbered list appears to have reversed items 5. and 6. That is 5 should be "Publisher" and 6 should be "Date/Year".
I want to cite the entry for Jacob Christiaansen of Zuidzande, but because this website is in Dutch, I'm not certain I have all of the elements needed.
When a marriage takes place by banns, the banns are read on three consecutive Sundays in the parish church(s) where the bride- and groom-to-be live. Sometimes they are recorded together with the marriage record, and sometimes in a separate Banns Book.
When citing the banns, do you include the date of the first reading, the last reading, or all three readings? My feeling is that the first reading is sufficient, because that would indicate where in the banns book to find the entry. But I may be wrong.
What are other people's ideas?
I'm trying to understand some specific of various templates and the components within them. The first place I looked was Template 1 p129 (3.18) in ed.3 vs p152 (4.17) ed. 4 and the First Reference Notes do not match.
Edition 3
“Muster Roll of Captain [Joseph] Martin’s Company of Pittsyl-
vania Militia in 1774,” The Draper Manuscripts, microfilm edition, 123
rolls (Teaneck, New Jersey: Chadwyck-Healey, n.d.), roll 42, Series XX,
Tennessee Papers, vol. 1, p. 6.
Edition 4:
For an online imagine a named database, I've used template 10. I believe the following is a correctly formatted footnote per Edition 4. Before I charge off upgrading similar citations (and I have a huge number), I thought it best to check whether I have interpreted the EE4 instructions correctly.
Notes:
I referred to EE §14.12, but I still have questions.
It has been wonderful that the National Archives Catalog now has many images online for us, many from previously microfilmed records. It now gives us a new struggle in citing their records.
I am looking at 12.10 in EE4 and see that the first reference note begins with the U.S. National Archives. I prefer to begin first reference notes with the item I'm looking at and then cite where I am viewing it. My attempt for the images from the Records of the Post Office Department is:
When using US census citations, when can we abbreviate items such as "county" and state names? Only after the first usage? Or can we abbreviate even on the first citation? What about if we have citations for censuses in different states? Would we need to spell out the state on first usage, then provide the abbreviation?
