I could not decide whether this question belongs in the Citation Issues forum or the Evidence Analysis Issues forum. For better or worse I decided to post it here.
I understand the reasons for supplying the date you accessed information on a website with the URL in a first reference note; something may have changed since you accessed it, and there is often no relevant "date posted" to use instead. But I'm having a problem with the concept of inserting an access date in a source list entry, which is normally associated with a publication date.
Hello from Serbia again!
Recently I found out a book originaly published as printed edition in 1993. It was published online as PDF edition. I found out in EE book in Chapter12.62 especially page 700, that it needs eight elements for citing the PDF publications: author, title, publication date, download format, website name, URL, download date, and specific page.
It follows with Source List Entry and Reference Notes (First and Subsequent).
In my case citation would be
Dear Editor,
One of my blog readers asked me how to cite a Canadian Census Record in Family Tree Maker 2014. I looked at the Census Templates that are available to me in FTM2014 and then went to QuickCheck Model; Derivatives: Database, Online on page 254.
In fact, your example was exactly what I was looking for. So, I created a short video on how I would handle that QuickCheck Model, as I was not given a specific example. (Video: 8:15)

Dr. Asa Fitch collected firsthand accounts, newspaper articles, and some original documents for the purpose of writing a history of Washington County New York. The information was recorded in seven journals using article numbers. There have been several books complied using bits and pieces of these articles. A gazetteer, annotated index, was published in 1999 compiled by Kenneth A Perry. The original journals where donated to the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society who then donated them to New York Public Library. In 1952 New York Public microfilmed the volumes.
I finally got a chance to review my first microfilm on German ancestors. Imagine my delight to find the birth records of all six children, in addition (sadly) to the deaths of four of the children. Now I'm struggling to write new citations. This is an example of just one of the many, using EE as a guide, 7.40 Germany, pp 358-359. Did I capture more than I needed? Or did I overlook something? (Line 1 is the title page of the microfilm)
Hi,
I'm trying to work out which source citation is going to be best for a series of (thick heavy) books that in their time where the equivalent of today's phone books but with loads of extra important information for the people of that time, and easily held 1500-2000 pages. They were published yearly for around 75 years (1858-1933) only missing a handful of years in that time.
I'm somewhat confused on how to cite vital records located at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Library and Archives (WHSLA). This actually pertains to using a mixture of the society's information on the film box and the filmer's target information.
Example: Centenial [sic] Washington Jerry, b. 27 May 1877
Oh no, he's back.
I have done a Video Blog on how I handle Emails within the Family Tree Maker (FTM2014) program.
http://ftmuser.blogspot.com/2014/04/ftm2014-how-i-handle-emails_28.html
After I did that, I thought I would see if I could use the Template feature in that program to craft a reasonable Reference Note (FTM2014's term)
I am trying to cite Find A Grave for the following grave: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=28456886
Where I run into confusion is with the photo and site attribution. The site was created by "EL" which when one follows up to get a name, this is what is provided:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=46539242 It seems to infer that EL may also have been a photographer to some extent. Their is no further way to identify this person other than as "EL."
