Hello,
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
Hello again,
I have another question on citing a register of birth on FamilySearch.
Here is the citation that they use:
"Illinois Births and Christenings, 1824-1940", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:H9G7-793Z : 22 July 2021), Elmer Kennedy, 1879.
Here is the website link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:H9G7-793Z. This link takes me to the info page, not the page of the actual copy of registration. That link is here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G924-R65Z
I've a somewhat unusual document that I need to reference. It is a church history that also contains transcripts of the church record books. The document was published by the church on its 75th anniversary. The pages are typed, are not numbered and are bound in a "duotang" cover. However; it does contain the needed information pertaining to the author.
I'm wondering if the following approach is reasonable:
Hello again,
I have an "Affidavits for Correction of a Record" for a birth. I have the original birth certificate as well as the amended birth certificate. I have attached a copy of the amended birth certificate.
In the original birth certificate, the name of the child was left blank and the father's name was spelled incorrectly. I have reviewed the QuickCheck Model of EE's 2nd edition on page 432. I thought there might be a need for a 3rd layer to explain both the lack of a child's name and also the misspelling of the father's last name.
A contact of mine pointed me to a very perplexing church book page at Family Search.
I've looked through the pages on the film but can't find a target or any reference to the church book that the page is actually taken from. Clicking on the "Information" tab on the page takes me to the following page:

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.
