Citation Issues

EE,

I am trying to reconcile how to cite un-indexed court case or probate files imaged on FamilySearch.  Typically these consist of loose documents in folders. 

EE QC p381 leads with the [Jurisdiction] and [Series], placing the "[item of interest]" in "quotation marks" at the end of the layer, just before the web page layer.  I did not see any example in EE that accounts for or cites the file label itself.  I could not find the images using the URL in the example so I cannot confirm if the documents are contained in a file or not.

Hello!

I feel like I'm over-complicating this citation for an image of a document with signatures attesting to allegiance to the U.S. from the Mississippi Territory. The document is housed at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History at Jackson; the image is on their website. There's a rich treasure trove of images available at the site, so a helpful eye on these citations would be most welcome. 

I'm wanting the document (image) to the lead element. I might change my mind if I find that there's more than one ancestor in this collection.

Hello,

Here I am again with another citation question.  

Hello,

I have a ship passenger list that I have viewed on Ancestry.com.  This is the citation that I have written:

Source List Entry (EE)

“California, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists, Roll 5: 1882-1959.” Database with images. Ancestry. http://www.ancestry.com : 2008.

First Reference (EE)

In Australia (and I imaging in the US) there are often graves on private property (i.e. not in a formal cemetey). We call them lonely graves. Looking at EE 5.13 and 5.14 there is still a cemetery name listed. 5.14 says you should also note the access road. A lot of these lonely graves have NO public access. The owner of the land would have to give you permission to cross several of his fields and/or paddocks to get there. The property sometimes has a name, and it will have a street where it's main entrance is, but this may be no where near the grave.

Hello,

I have some marriage certificates and birth certificates that I purchased at the county clerk office.  I am trying to cite one of those marriage records.  Here is what I have done so far:

Source List Entry (EE)

California. Los Angeles County. Marriage Certificates. Registrar of Vital Statistics, Los Angeles.

First Reference Note (EE)

Los Angeles County, California, marriage certificate no. 3353 (1948), Rogers-Burn, Registrar of Vital Statistics, Los Angeles.

I am in the process of cleaning up and improving the consistency of my citation templates in my database and am looking for guidance on terminology to use with citing digital images located on FamilySearch, or other site that have not been indexed.

Many of the examples and QC Models use the term "Browsable images" to describe the item type/format, but I can also find examples where the term "Digital images" is used.

I located the original alien enemy registration forms that my ancestors filled out with the Fort Wayne Police Department in 1918. The local museum, which currently houses these records, was kind enough to supply me with a photocopy of each page of the completed form. I believe after reading chapter 8, the citation would read like this, but I am not sure. The affidavits were originally kept at the Fort Wayne Police Department and feel that needs to be part of the citation, but not sure where that would go. How do I fix this citation?

I am trying to cite The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies using the basic format for books as a starting point and incorporating guidance and examples from EE 11:24-11.25  Some of the unique aspects of this work present some additional challenges and questions.  As a side note, although this work is also included in the U.S. Serial Set which is covered in 13.26-13.40, they were also published as a stand alone work which is what I am trying to cite.

Hi,

Something has been bugging me for a while, and I haven't been able to come to a conclusion, so I now turn to you for guidance.
