Citation Issues

Citing for Australian BMD

I'm attempting to create a citation for the Australia Birth Index on Ancestry, but not sure who to place in the 'repository' section. The "Australia, Birth Index, 1788-1922" is made up from a collection of different indexes created by each individual state, and each state handles their vital records differently.

In case of South Australia, the BMD Registration Office holds the vital records, do I simple cite the office, as I have shown below?

citing a document posted on a website

Hello,

I have decided to go through the excercise of creating a source list entry, first reference note, and subsequent note for all of my sources.  I hope I will get to the point where I "speak the lanage" so to speak and won't need the quick models, but untill then I run into problems when the models don't quite work.  I used quick check model "website as a "book" on page 657.  

Any feedback would be appriciated.

Citing published manuscripts

The New England Historic Genealogical Society has original transcripts created by Lucius Barnes Barbour.  Digital images of these transcripts, containing information from the records of 136 Connecticut towns, 1640s to about 1850, may be seen at NEHGS' website at www.americanancestors.org.  I'm uncertain how to compose a reference note for these digital images now that I've read EE 2.18 that states that "[d]igital images online, for sale or free use" are treated as published.  Does that mean a transcript or manuscript that has been digitized online should be cited as a book -- the title of t

Page or pages

I would like to like to cite to a fact in a multi-page article.  Let's say the article can be found at pages 328-336.  Page 332 is where the fact appears.  What is customary to put into a reference note?

328 (just the first page of the article)

332 (just the page containing the fact)

328, 332 (both the first page and the specific page)

328-336 (all the pages of the article)

328-336, 332 (all the page of the article and the particular page)

Websites in a foreign language

I have a few questions about citing an image of a vital record located on a foreign website. The original records are in Dutch, and they are contained on a Dutch language website.

Question 1) Should our citation contain words in that foreign language?  I have a digital image of what appears to be a birth register from the Netherlands.

For citing this online image of a vital record, I referenced the guidance given at EE 9.6, Online Images, and crafted the following citation:

Determining the "source of the source" for citations

In EE 9.6, which deals with citing Online Abstracts, Databases & Indexes,  guidance is given to place emphasis on the derivative work, rather than the original creator.  The original creator should only be cited as "the source of your source".

With this in mind, I am crafting a citing to an online index, and working on trying to figure out what exactly the correct "source of the souce" information is that I should use.

FamilySearch.org offers the following "citation"...

Citing online high school yearbook

I've been searching Evidence Explained, Second Edition, for a proper way to cite an online high school yearbook, but I'm not finding a direct reference in the index for yearbooks (online or printed).  I'm under the impression that perhaps yearbooks would be handled under another section in EE, but I'm unsure of what section to base my citation on.  Can you provide guidance?
