Hello,
I think that I have become somewhat adept with Ancestry and FamilySearch citations, but I am working in England now and FMP is driving me insane. Without ARK addresses, or clear database names, I do not even know how to direct you to the source I am looking at. Here's my best guess as to the proper citation. If I am missing something, please let me know. Thanks!
I read over the post, "Private Holdings: Artifact", https://www.evidenceexplained.com/index.php/node/1734 and tried to utilize the birth certificate example to construct a citation for one of the birth certificates copies I hold on file. Unfortunately; I've tried to create a citation, but the chain of custody is causing me to doubt that I've done so correctly. Could I ask for your feedback?
From noted post:
Hello,
In a layered citation, what components of the 2nd layer are included (if any) in a subsequent note?
In my example below, I am following the citation guidelines laid out in section 7.40 (Church Records from Germany) for the 1st layer. I use the 2009 second print edition of EE and refer to this blog regarding all things “layered” to keep up with new developments. Notice elements of both layers change in the 2nd note.
Could you provide some guidance on the following situations one finds when recording of pages and columns of a newspaper? The first question, below, is by far the most important.
1) Some newspapers seem to split or merge their regular number of page-columns in the course of a page.
causes me confusion when trying to cite an article, because column number depends upon where it occurs on the page. Is there a standard way to handle this?
I am attempting to cite transcribed parish register from Christ Church in Middlesex County, Virginia and I just get confused on how to do this properly. The book is found on-line at family search at the following link: The Parish register of Christ Church, Middlesex County, Va., from 1653 to 1812 (familysearch.org)
This is the citation that I have:
Oof! I've been struggling with this one. I have a client project that has led to Jewish records from Munkács, Bereg, Hungary (later part of Czechoslovakia and now part of Ukraine) that have been digitized and placed online. My first challenge was figuring out how to copy and paste the Ukrainian text into Word to begin the process of creating citations. I would like EE's input on anything I should add to these citations.
The New York Historical Society website publishes several blogs as part of their larger website. I am trying to cite an article that is part of one of their blogs but am not entirely sure how to approach it. The article doesn't show an author. The blogs do not have their own url and are structured as categories on the site. I assume that the name of the blog should still be featured somehow, I'm just not sure where. Here's a link to the article. https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/lets-be-thankful-may-day-doesnt-exist-anymore
And my attempt:
I used the Wolfbane Cybernetic website to find the meaning of a disease code on a 1932 death certificate. My waypoints were wolfbane.com>International Classification of Diseases>ILCD Revision 4 (1929). Do I format "ILCD Revision 4 (1929)" as a chapter in "International Classification of Diseases"? If so, are both titles in quotes, or is the chapter in quotes and the title in italics?
I received a copy of my ancestor's Civil War pension file. From EE 11.40, I understand how to cite the file itself. My question is how to cite a particular page in the file, or even if that's necessary.
So I am struggling with this one a lot. I was given a link to a database with to access Lutheran records in Lithuania. The records are kept at the archive there and I used to purchase copies from there until the President of IAGL Online indexing told me of their having digitized and indexed a large amount of records.
