I am part of a private family group on Facebook where we share photos and information. How do I accurately cite these posts when I use photos or relationship connections?
I want to cite a newspaper article from a film from the Family History Library. The film series is titled, "Annals of Savannah : 1850-1937, a digest and index of the newspaper record of events and opinions, abstracted from the files of the Savannah Morning News." The particular film that I am citing is film #1613424, 1888, 1880-1890.
Based on your conversation here: https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/newspaper-articles I have worked out this citation.
"Larcenies," Savannah Morning News, 16 September 1890, p. 8, col. 6; FHL microfilm 1613424.
I'm not understanding the difference between these two categories. For example: p. 270-72 provides examples for databases for HeritageQuest and Ancestry and the example for Digital images for Ancestry. To add to my confusion I have seen both HeritageQuest and Ancestry cited as "database and image" in the same citation. Add FamilySearch and Fold3 to the group providing census information and my brain acts like a GPS - always "recalculating." While the examples differ for the database and images, I'm not understanding why.
Hello to all,
I'm so new to this, my head is spinning. But, today I was making up my first Source List for a new branch of the family and then I was creating First Reference Notes (which you all refer to as "citations", right?) and I got to thinking-
Dear Editor,
After our discusson on another question about Family Tree Maker, Templates vs Free Form, I went back to QuickLesson 19, to help me refresh my understanding of Layering. You layed out the layering very well, and I thank you.
In looking at QuickLesson 19, I was reminder of at least one place where I saw the Website Title show up.
I have used Heritage Quest for a number of years to cite census sources. Since Ancestry is involved the url now reads : ancestryheritagequest.com
Is it advisable to make that change in all of my citations? Are there other items I should look at in the citations as well?

Forgive me for pasting my message here but I have been trying for days to contact whoever is in control at Evidenceexplained.com with no such luck.
I purchased a copy of the digital book but haven't received it yet after several days - can somebody please reply to one of my emails (check your spam folder).
Thank you,

Hello,
I have a series of newspaper articles that were originally published in The Greenwich Journal and Fort Edward Advertiser (Greenwich, NY) between 1955-1958. There is a total of 86 articles. They were written by the Argyle Town Historian. I only have the clippings of these and not page and column information and there maybe some confussion on which actual newspaper they came from. I am working to sort that issue out. These articles were each given an article number ie. "article 51"
Greetings from an Evidence Explained newbie!
I am trying to figure out the proper way to cite 19th century Eastern European vital records. Specifically, they are Polish records (written in Russian). They are scans sent from a branch of the Polish State Archive, and are not "church records."Also, the records were obtained using index information from http://jri-poland.org (if you are familar with that site).
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
Hello all!
This past months were very inspiring to me cause I had chance to visit many Local Archives in Western Serbia and to see many original documents and papers that are stored in State Archives of Serbia and University Library here in Belgrade.
