Thanks as always for any insight you may be able to offer.
I'm struggling to cite this slide associated with a Toledo, Ohio cemetery record card catalog. This page on FamilySearch contains the microfilm collection that includes the microfilm with the slide I linked.
I've been doing a lot better with finding what I need for a citation in my copy of EE, Third Ed. However, this one is beating me up for some reason. This is a collection at the Georgia Archives in Morrow, GA which I found on Ancestry.
Here's what I have so far:

Issues citing the Norwegian Census
I have found the entry for Ole Arnesen in the 1865 census of Norway. I believe I have correctly adapted the basic format for a census, but wonder how to handle the location designator within the imaged Norwegian census book. That number, while sequential and unique, seems to be neither a true folio number nor a true page number. It appears to have been added to maintain order during digitizing. Would the following be a reasonable method of handling this?
I recently received a collection of some random family artifacts. Most of what I have are various trinkets owned by deceased family members such as a wallet, figurines, a souvenir spoon, military medals, etc. None of them were created by the person who originally owned them.
I recently attended the funeral service of a great-uncle. There were a number of speakers at the funeral who shared different memories. At the conclusion of the service, I made my own notes regarding the stories that were shared about my great-uncle. I am now unsure how to go about citing this information. I thought perhaps it could be considered personal knowledge, but I am not entirely sure of this. The notes consist of a number of eulogies from friends and family of the deceased (unfortunately, I do not have the names of all who contributed their story).
Hello,
I’m learning to cite and am still very much a beginner and not feeling confident with creating a citation for a baptism transcription found on CD-ROM.
The CD-ROM contains transcriptions of baptisms, marriages, and burials for Abingdon and was purchased from the Oxfordshire Family History Society. https://www.ofhs.uk/shop/ABINGDON-Reg-Dist-01-p190196587
I have also attached page 201 from Volume 6 which contains the baptism transcription for Thomas Eackling.
Hello,
RootsMagic didn't have a ready-made source template for a state-level census (other than microfilm or FHL). I accessed mine through Ancestry.com. So I created a new source template in the likeness of their Federal census one. Below is what my citation looks like. Here are my two questions:
Hello,
Picked up a copy of EE and RootsMagic (stepping up my game from just being on Ancestry.com). I have a few, probably superfluous, questions. Here's a copy of one of my census citations. Would you mind checking it out? I added the bold for emphasis.
A question about how to handle changes in indexing. I view some online records of the Nova Scotia Canada provincial archives. They have digitized and transcribed and indexed the records but you can still read the original images. I cite the record as they have indexed it in my family tree "Fred Smith and Mary Jones married 6 May 1877 in Kings Co" plus the record book number, page and entry #.

Dear Editor;
I have located some useful certificates and family photos in the Media Gallery of an Ancestry user. Would it be reasonable to treat an image in a user's Media Gallery as an item in a collection?
