Dear EE,
Over the past few months, I have been transcribing "Memorials" from the FamilySearch catalogue which has the title: Transcripts of memorials of deeds, conveyances and wills, 1708-1929. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/185720
There are no indexed entries for these records.
First I have my handy dandy citing genetic sources quick sheet. Here is my pretty graph
I was researching my Grandfather, Amandus E. Diethrich in Pennsylvania on Ancestry.com and discovered a City Directory, image p 187, listing his occupation as carpenter and residence as 125 Luna. Even though his surname was misspelled (it was spelled without the middle h) I am certain this is my Grandfather as the misspelling is very common. On top of the image page was "U.S., City Directories, 1822-1995 for Amandus Deithrich" followed by "Pennsylvania > Pittsburgh > 1899 > Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, City Directory, 1899".
I am looking for how to cite an image of a page of a ship's manifest found on Ancestry. When I go to my print version of EE, section 11.17 is "Port Manifests (Inland Ports)." On this EE website, it is "Passenger Manifests: Online Images" which is what I need. Can you point me to the correct section? Thanks!
Over the years, my parents and other relatives have told me things about my family that they were eyewitnesses to or involved in. I know typically, you'd cite another person's knowledge as an interview, but these conversations were informal and no notes were ever taken. I just "know" the information because I've heard the stories several times.
I need help in writing a citation for the following statement that I found on Jist Archive Hub at https://archiveshub.jsc.ac.uk/data/gb206-ms1561 : In 1846 a group of schoolmasters in Brighton, concerned about professional standards, set up a Society of Teachers, which was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1849 and became the College of Preceptors. The statement was written on an un-numbered page headed “Papers of the College of Preceptors” and under the sub-heading of,“Administrative/Biographical History”.
How do you create a citation when the entire record or collection of records is your reference? For instance, an unpaginated diary mentions a farm hand named Hank in at least 26 entries spanning five years. If I use this as evidence that Hank was a farmhand for the diarist in that time span, do I need to list every individual entry that mentions Hank or is it enough to include a date range?
Good evening.
I'm a little stumped on how to cite this book. I am mostly stuck I think, on the author/publisher portion. It's available at several online venues but to confuse matters, everywhere I look there are slight differences in how it is cataloged, especially when it comes to the author and publisher.
Sorry this is so long. After reading thru some of the QuickLesson's and searching the forum, I realize I may be doing some of my citations incorrectly.
Census - I have been citing the census year, state, county, page, person(s), repository as FamilySearch. From my reading I should also be citing the database at FamilySearch not just them as a repository? The same for other documents (i.e. marriage record, wills, deeds, etc) obtained from FamilySearch?
I have several documents from the civil registers from the Archives of the Vosges (https://archives.vosges.fr/). I'm trying to make sure I'm citing them correctly. In the example the only differences for the other documents would be the specifics for the document.
