Citation Issues

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.

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·         Although the church still officially exists, it is no longer active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