Citation Issues

Dear EE:

I just wanted to check if the version of QuickSheet: Citing Online Historical Resources which is available from Amazon for the Kindle is the latest version.

The preview shows that it is the "First Revised Edition c 2007."

At Genealogical.com, the description says "Second Edition" but also says 2007.

I purchased the Kindle version of QuickSheet: Citing Ancestry.com Databases & Images this morning and I figured Historical Resources would be a good compliment for non-Ancestry sources.

Thanks

Jeff

Given that FamilySearch is no longer distributing microfilms how does that change our use of the film number in a citation.

I need help to determine if I am thinking this citation through correctly.

Many of us have inherited bank documents, personal checks, and check registers of our ancestors. I am crafting an article and presentation about what we can learn about families by reviewing their old canceled checks. I would appreciate guidance on creating a citation for personal checks and check registers in footnotes, both as the initial and subsequent citations. I assume the same format you recommend for personal checks/registers would apply to business checks and registers.

I need to temporarily cite an entry in Ancestry's "New York, New York, U.S., Index to Death Certificates, 1862-1948" database.

Ancestry provide this information:

Source Citation

New York City Department of Records & Information Services; New York City, New York; New York City Death Certificates; Year: 1911

Source Information

Ancestry.com. New York, New York, U.S., Index to Death Certificates, 1862-1948 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT. USA: 2020.

When I add reference notes from two sources, but both relate to the same subject, I list them separately using two numbers. Is this correct?

Is the purpose of a short reference note to lead the reader directly to the source or lead the reader to the full reference note? The answer will help me in deciding what to include in a short note/ 

I've got a statement i'm making

In the Northumberland area there are numerous David Cockburn records in Tynemouth, North Shields, Wallsend, Wooler, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and others.

That obviously needs a source but it isn't for a single database or record it is from the entire website. So this is my attempt to cite the search.

When you have a table and you are putting the table citations in the last row of the table, can / should you use the short version of the citation?

One side of me says yes, the full citation is already in the document prior to the table so that is fine. The other side says, well the purpose of putting it in the table is so that if someone copies it, they have all the references.

I’m privately printing my maternal grandfather’s diary written in a Field Message Book during the first two years of WWI. Among other things, I’m including scans of items in my, or a relative’s, possession. In the Reference List at the end of the book, I’m really stumped how to word the first part of a citation for a letter from my grandfather, William Robert Bruce, to my grandmother, his wife, Ethel Sarah (Phelps) Bruce. I'll just be showing the first page where he mentions being gone, "a whole year; one long year of separation."
