Citation Issues

I am fortunate to have inherited many many historical family documents and Evidence Explained (EE) is a fabulous reference I've been turning to regularly.  

 I have a question on how to cite an original Western Union telegram.

My first thought was to use EE 3.35 Letters, Historic but a quick google search showed that: 1. Western Union telegrams were considered legal binding documents in litigation; 2. historians have used Western Union telegrams from collections as supporting documents in various writings.

My grandparents were married in Taipeng, Perak (Federated Malay States) in August 1941. The record was filed at the office of the Registrar of Marriages in Taipeng. In December 1941, the Japanese invaded and destroyed the repository. My grandparents were issued a replacement/substitute certificate. I currently possess a photocopy of this certificate. I think I may have the last surviving copy. How do I go about citing this? Thank you.

I need some guidance on a citation for burial slips and index cards I received from a genealogical research office of Green-Wood Cemetery. I've reviewed Chapter 5 of EE and think that section 5.8 applies. However, I am unclear about to whom the "submitted by E.B. Laughlin, Inc., 13 May 1983," refers. Is this the company who submitted the interment information and the date they did that? 

Here is what I've come up with after reading and re-reading Chapter 5:

I'm looking at the 1860 Agriculture schedule for New York. I looked at the example given here earlier under Ancestry.Com Mortality Schedules, but there is a major difference. Ancestry indirectly references the NARA film T1128, but they directly reference an archive collection number A18, roll 18, page 43. They don't seem to indicate whose archive it is, so how would I write the citation. This is what I came up with, then realized it doesn't quite fit because the page and line numbers are for the A18 film.

As you probably know, FamilySearch has introduced a new facelift for their website. Now I'm rather confused about citing the following record because the FHL microfilm number doesn't accompany the record database.

14.5 "...Record the author's relevant degrees or credentials, for evaluation purposes.  Relevant means relevant to the author's expertise on the subject she or he is writing about."  

For this citation -- how do I cite the author's credentials, degrees, or honorifics if they have since earned more to add to their F.A.S.G.?  Do I leave it to reflect the credentials at the time of the author's original publication date or update to reflect current credentials? 

Many thanks!

I maybe making a mountain out of a mole hill but, I want to use a map of the German Empire found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:German_Reich1.png

The part I am having some trouble with is the attribution portion of the copyright section and the share alike if I choose to modify the image. Would the attribution be placed under the image for example Map courtsey of .... with a citation to the web page or would the attribution be placed in the citation?

If data from the the census record for the family or household of John Smith is entered into a table, and a proper citation for the census record is attached to the table; the question is, when I subsquently refer to data in the table, do I need to add a citation for the census record - or can I refer the reader to the table?

Thanks,

I just got some muster and payroll documents from the War of 1812 today for one of my ancestors, John McKelvey and am trying to put together a first reference note.  I looked at the example in EE and read the principles.  The thing is that I ordered the CD of documents online and was not given any information like record groups or the data collection, I just got my CD and a cover sheet saying that the search had been performed successfully.  From my point of view this was functionally a web search that just happened to take a few weeks.  Based on what I had to know to place the order and th

I am having issue regarding two sources which cannot be both true.

They both have records from Original Church Record Books, microfilmed inLocal Historical Archives of my birth town.

The first one is from Baptism Parish Church Record Book, which I cite as:

St. Nikola's Church (Jezevica, Cacak): "Baptism Record Book 1864-1875," p. 142, no. 6, Delic Drinka Ljubomir baptism (1875), microfilm 10, frame Scan 00154; Historical Archives, Cacak.
