Citation Issues

How to cite Swedish church records or other records viewed digitally on www.sok.riksarkivet.se

Is this the correct citation format for the website Riksarkivet?  I bought your most recent edition (2017) and it did not contain an example for this website.

Swedish National Archives, "Arbrå kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/HLA/1010005/C/5 (1877-1885)," database, Riksarkivet (sok.riksarkivet.se : viewed 11 November 2018), p 92.

Private Holdings: Artifact

I am looking at QCM on p. 105 (3rd ed.).

My question is about my father's birth certificate (deceased), which is privately held by mother. I have a photograph of this document.

I am trying to write a citation for this, and have so far come up with the following:

Source List:

New South Wales, Registry of Births Deaths & Marriages. Certified copy of birth certificate. 22 January 1997. Privately held by name of person, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] Town, State of person. 2018.

Citing Ancestry member shared images (photos, documents, etc.)

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can properly cite Ancestry member shared photos (either actual photographs or images, or images of documents).

I am not quite certain how I should go about it to accurately create a citation that works.

I was thinking something like this:

Surname, name (or username if no name), "Photograph of individuals' name". Year if/when available; Ancestry Public Member Photos & Scanned Documents. Date shared. URL

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Citing an online catalog entry

Query from RobynR:

I had previously looked at some abstracted information in late 2017, found in the online catalogue at the East Riding Archives website. But I am only now, actually trying to do a citation for the same. I searched the forum and this particular thread seemed to represent a similar issue and has helped me understand certain things.

I have crafted the following for my full reference note, but somehow I still feel a little confused if the layout is actually correct.

Familysearch record access date

The following image contains information about the death of Myrtle Bemis Perry:

"Minnesota, County Deaths, 1850-2001," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPZT-CLR3 : 25 October 2019), Myrtle Bemis Perry, Rochester Township, Olmsted, Minnesota, United States; citing Death, multiple county courthouses, Minnesota.

The access date given is 25 October 2019, but I viewed the record on 25 February 2020.

Should I change this date to the date I viewed it?

Swedish Church Records and Military Records from Online Genealogy websites

Does anybody out there know how to properly cite sources from Arkivdigital, Riksarkivet, and familysearch when you are looking at digital images of Swedish Church records or at images of military records online?  I cannot find any book or website that explains the proper way to do it.

Ancestry Message

Typically I would handle citing an Ancestry message much like an email or instant message. However, Ancestry recently made some updates to their messaging system and there is no longer a way to create or view subject lines. I am thinking that in order to cite it correctly I would need to make one up. If that's the case, am I correct in thinking that the subject line should now be placed in brackets?

ie:
