Citation Issues

I've noticed that generic descriptions for a birth/marriage/death certificates used in citations rather than the titles of those certificates.

For example the image of the death certificate used in EE 9.33, Oneline Databases & Images (County Level), example (3) shows heading "State of Tennessee, State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Certificate of Death".

It's cited in EE 9.33 like this:
Shelby County, Tennessee, death certificate no. 114 (file no.) 116 (reg. no.), "Infant Day," ...

Hi,

I need to cite online image copies of a Danish church book. These are my observations:

<ul>

<li>The church books (original paper ones) are now kept by the Danish National Archive in Viborg.</li>

<li>The digitized church books are at the website of the Danish National Archives.</li>

Using this page as an example http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/31475180/

There are a few online databases that have no obvious name, and so make it hard to cite them umabiguously. The ones I'm thinking of all fall into the FreeUKGEN projects; the most familiar of these being FreeBMD.

Elizabeth,

I have been studying EE citation models for Scotland Archives  records. I have a photocopy of a will acquired in 1987. I recently emailed the Archives of Scotland asking for a citation model. This is what was returned.

"The precise reference is National Records of Scotland testament testamentar of William Murray, retired fish curer in Stuartfield, Wick confirmed in Register of inventories and wills, Wick Sheriff Court  reference SC14/40/32 pages 305-325."

Stuartfield was the name of Williams home on Francis Street in Wick.

I guess my initial question is what kind of document would this be considered?

How would you cite this document? The title is as follows...
The United States of America 
Department of Commerce 
Bureau of the Census
Washington 
Notification of Birth Registration

This certifies that the following Record of Birth is registered and preserved in the office of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

It was issued by the the Oklahoma City Board of Health.

I find myself getting lost in the details trying to construct layered citations.

I'm trying to develop a layerd citation for a death certificate image from Ancestry.com that originally came from an original in the Pennsylvania State Archives.  Here's what I've come up with:

What I have in my hands is a photo copy of a page from a compiled book of obituaries from a county in Ohio. The book is photo reproductions of the original newspaper obituaries clipped from a specific newspaper, not transcripions.

My question, of course, is the proper form of citation. One possibility is:

Dear Editor,

Yes, I am back, but with a, I hope, generic question. As you may know, I am fighting, no working with my genealogy database management software program.

I'm having some difficulty understanding the difference between Online Database (Ancestry) and Online Images (Ancestry), which have different "First Reference Notes" (EE 6.19). I understand the citations, but when should I use Database versus Images?
