I would like to cite an entry in a Death Index dataset downloaded from the French INSEE site. I've tried to use the format for a webpage, but citing an entry contained in a downloaded ZIP-file is a bit out of the ordinary. Could I get some feedback on the following attempt or perhaps some suggestions on a better format?
I've come across an ancestor who died in WW1, but whose death registration was delayed until 1922. For this reason, I'm trying to be careful with making a precise citation of the image I've fount in the departmental archives of Jura, France.
The microfilms for the Ètat Civil, clerks copy, are almost always not true books, even though the records are often bound.
Hello again,
Happy belated Thanksgiving!
I have a 2 volume set of books that I own. The title is: Early Settlers of Lee County, Virginia and Adjacent Counties. Volume 1 is by Anne Wynn Laningham and Volume 2 is by Hattie Muncy Bales.
I am currently working on cleaning up and correcting my sources and citations. What a project!!
Hello,
I present my attempt at citing a transcription of church records found at USGenWeb. The models that seem to apply are a website as a book with multiple chapters and transcribed bible pages online (EE p. 126-28). I chose to use the author as the lead element. Using the creator of the record seems problematic since we have no image of what the author used, its location, or if it's a bound volume, loose papers, or even the actual title of anything.
Anyone who does research on Italian immigrants to the U.S., especially those who didn't read or write, is used to seeing variant spellings of surnames--doubled consonants where the name has one, an "o" at the end instead of an "i." If a document has Caffarelli, Cafarella, or Caparelli instead of Cafarelli, I transcribe what I see in the citation. But is there a convention for writing a reference note for a vital record with two spellings of the subject's name where one is another step removed from the correct spelling based on the child's Italian birth record?
I'm so confused. This is a book listed in the Family Search Library. I can't figure out how to cite it.

Do I follow the QuickCheck Model on page 659 or one of the QuickCheck Models for church records?
Citing the "Obituary file, 1874-2004; obituary index, ca. 1874-2004" at FamilySearch has been a bit of a struggle for me. This collection contains images of index cards in one set of films and the corresponding images of clippings in a second set of films.
To ensure a consistent look and feel across reports, I'd like to avoid creating special instances of the current physical-item-first template that I've created for my newspaper citations.
Hello,
This deed is sourced originally from the Galveston County Clerk's Office, Book 2115 Page 430.
I have cited from microfilmed deeds on FamilySearch before, but these are actual copies of scanned deed images from the book. I am not sure how to cite this and was wondering if I crafted my citation correctly?
I arrived at these deeds through the county website: https://www.galvestoncountytx.gov/.../coun.../records-search
