I apologize because I see from searching the forums this topic has been addressed before, but the answer was still slightly unclear to me. In EE 4th ed., I see many examples with the "[ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE]" notation in small caps.
John Esslinger's 1907 government issued identification papers for immigration to the United States are in my possession. Written in Hungarian, names use last name - first name format. Papers were issued by the clerk "Hübner Simon" [Simon Hübner] in Csakova on 15 Mar 1907. Information documented on the paper are:
I found a very interesting document via a Google search. It is a detailed description of the contents of a collection held by the University of Tasmania. The Document is entitled "Leake Family Papers" and is in two parts which can be found at https://eprints.utas.edu.au/10860/4/Leake.pdf and https://eprints.utas.edu.au/10860/3/Leake.pdf.
Further information about the collection can be found at https://heritage.utas.edu.au/index.php/charles-henry-leake-and-family and https://eprints.utas.edu.au/10860/.
I am an EE newbie, and I am trying to develop a proper citation for a record from an actual film I had ordered and viewed at my local FHL several years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't know then what I know now, so I am revisiting some of my earlier research and trying to do it "right" this time around.
I crafted this citation for the death certificate of Frank A. Joy. Although I know the template in EE4 states to use the website's description for the "citing..." layer, I have included the information found at image 1, which is the book's spine:

Dear EE,
I'm struggling with my first few citations of ships' passenger lists. The date on the document is different from the known arrival date of the ship by a day or two (from newspaper ship arrival notices and even naturalization documents).
The date on the list is given as the "arrival date" by Ancestry (as it should be given no other information).
I've been transcribing and citing many items from small-town newspapers recently – and I updated from EE 2nd edition to 4th edition. I couldn't quite find a clear example of citing an untitled newspaper item and I was hoping for some guidance on the preferred style.
Here's an example – these are very small entries.
Hello Group,
I used ChatGPT to create a template based on the "digital image from an archive" citation style, as outlined in Evidence Explained.
Here is the attached document.
It told me“This follows a'digital image from an archive' citation style that is detailed in Chapter 4 of Evidence Explained under the 'Archival Record, Certified Digital Image' section." Here is the pdf I hope that it follows the Evidence Explained standards?If not please tell me what's missing please.
Hello Group,
I used ChatGPT to create a template for "Evidence Explained." Initially, it provided a version that used commas to separate the elements. I requested a revision to include way points instead(>), and it adjusted the format accordingly. It also supplied an example along with the updated template. Here is the pdf I hope that it follows the Evidence Explained standards? If not please tell me what's missing. I primarily work with Guatemala records btw.
I'm trying to construct a citation for an image found at fold3.com. In my case I'm interested in citing the Bible page as a birth source for people with those birthdates. I've looked at several examples on this forum and believe I have it properly though I feel that I may have left something out or got it wrong. The link takes you to the specific page, but I didn't see how the page number would be included in the citation. Additionally, I wasn't sure about what I included after "citing". I chose the NARA catalog title vice the Publication title. Any help is appreciated.
