Citation Issues

Hello,

I am looking for help with a particular Parish Register that seems to fit into multiple models:

Church Books: Named Volumes Held Off-Site, and
Derivatives – Church Record Book, Recopied, and
(maybe something else)

I think the pertinent background information is as follows:

·         Pettigrew’s Chapel was formed about 1799 and continued to actively exist until

·         It was consecrated as an Episcopal Church named St. David’s Church in 1857

·         Although the church still officially exists, it is no longer active

I am working on an article and am wondering in which cases you need to use a full reference note and when you can use a subsequent note. I understand that you use a subsequent (short) note when you use the same source twice, but does it need to be the exact same source in order to use the short form? 

Hello all,

this is my first post to this forum so don't mind if something goes wrong way.

I have some issue about citing and sourcing microfilms of church records. Those records are from period between 1850 and 1890, and after WW II local parishes had to give away their Record and Certificate books to State and Local governemts, mainly to Local Archives. I went to Local Archives in my birth town past weekend and had an opportunity to watch microfilmed digital images of those records

EE 12.56 talks about citing multiple years for City Directories. I am citing multiple city directories for Philadelphia. The years are from 1879-1891. The title of the directories include a year for example: Gopsill's Philadelphia City Directory for 1887. Would it be appropriate to cite the title as Gopsill's Philadelphia City Directory for [Year] or using Gopsill's Philadelphia City Directory for ...[year]?

I'm attempting to cite a few census records from 1901 and 1911 from Ireland.  I am having difficulting finding the correct format.  The records are digital images from the National Archives of Ireland's website.  I have used EE Quick Check Model of Digital Images of Online Archives.  I'm having difficulty because they are individual household returns and the forms are not paginated.  The only identifier I have is that they are household number 1 in Kishyquirk in the DED of Ballyvarra in Limerick county.  This is what I have come up with: &

I have found an obituary in Netha Meyer's Obituary Collection Index online at http://iagenweb.org/iowa/bmd/obits-index-netha-1.htm

The document I have is one where William Simmons was appointed as a lieutenant in the 13th Regiment in the Militia of the Mississippi Territory, 20 Mar 1812. 

This document came from the Series 488: Administration Papers, 1769, 1788-1817 at the Mississippi Department of History and Archives.

Here is the document http://mdah.state.ms.us/arrec/digital_archives/series/s488/detail/9408

I need to write a citation for an deposition which is part of a passport application file on Ancestry.com

National Archives and Records Administration U.S. Passport Applications, 1795-1925

The letter was written by the notory after deposing the subject's aunt who is attesting to the subject's identity, date and place of birth, and parent's names. The deposition is then notorized.

Ancestry gives the following information about the collection.

I have begun working my way through a large estate case file of 54 loose documents. My ancestor disappeared from home at age 84, apparently was never found, and subsequently was declared deceased.

The document I would like to cite is a MISSING! $1,000 REWARD poster dated 31 January 1920.

Dear editor and others,

I am writing an article for which I am using several manuscript collections that I consulted years ago. Since then, the manuscript collections have been transferred to another repository. I am not quite sure which repository to mention in my citation:
