Citation Issues

Hello,

I normally cite an online newspaper article like this:

"Funeral Tuesday for Saddlemaker," Omaha World Herald, May 20, 1971, p. 28, col. 1; digital images, Omaha World Herald (http://www.genealogybank.com : accessed 10 Aug 2015). 

I have an article that was created for the newpaper, but it was a copying a letter that an ancestor wrote.  I have written the source here:

Dear Editor,

I am unsure what EE guideline to look at for this, so I am just fumbling in many ways.

I am trying to cite a "transcription" of a newspaper death notice, that is located in the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick website.

This is my attempt:

As has been discussed NARA is not particularly efficient at including citation information. I received a Railroad inactive claim file. I did search the Forums and found the following on the Railroad Retirement Board file.  https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/railroad-retirement-board-file

The result of the discussion was the following citation:

James John McCarry pension file, SS no. 716-09-2211, 1954; NIA: 5743080, Textural Records; Inactive Claims Folders; RG 184: Records of the Railroad Retirement Board; National Archives–Atlanta, Morrow, Ga.

Three question regarding a layered citation. The citation identifies where I obtained informaiton on the birth of an ancestor.  First, I have drafted two versions of a layered cited for a Family Bible Record which I viewed on FHL microfilm. The first version of the citation did not seem as clear as possible with regard to conveying how the Family Bible Records were shared.

To reduce the size of the source list for imaged church books, I am using a source list entry that reflects the containing collection, rather than the church/organization. Usually, the collection name does not reflect the church name. So, there is no implicit relationship between the first reference note and the relevant source list entry.

So; I have a question about how to address this...

Hello ESM,

I cited this record years ago in my Genie Software, but am adding info to FamilySearch and WikiTree, and am wondering if it gives enough info. What are your thoughts?

It is the "original" copy that was given to the groom/bride, it is extremely fragile, and damaged from the use of sticky tape to hold it together over the years. I know the provenance of it, my grandfather inherited his property and then my uncle inherited the same.The certificate came via my uncles wife.

Dear EE,

In citing documents from a pre-1908 homestead file, I'm following the example at EE 3rd ed., 11.23: Land Entry Files, Manuscripts, but have some questions:

I am trying to write a citation for the birth registration I found at Family Search. I know I will have more of these so I wanted to be sure I was getting it right before writing more citations. I will try to upload the image I found so you can see what I am working with.

The citation I wrote is:

This newspaper article begins on page 1A with a note to “See Park Projects, 3A” for the rest of the article. The information cited is on page 3A.

John Marks, “York County park projects include new dog park, river trails,” The Herald (Rock Hill, South Carolina), 8 December 2021, p. 3A, col. 4; image copy, Newspapers.com (https://www.newspapers.com/ : accessed 1 August 2022).

I am working with some images from FamilySearch. They are NOT indexed. They are NOT part of a collection. They are German.  Here is the catalog link: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/61818.

The catalog calls it: Kirchenbuch, 1714-1950. But if you try to search for a collection of that name (Search > Records > Find a Collection), it does not exist.

Specifically, in that catalog entry, let's talk about film number 473531 which is listed as "Heiraten 1820-1842 Konf. 1922-1936, 1828-1876, 1881, 1876- 1880, 1882-1921".
