Hello there, I'm new to posting but not new to the forum.
I use Tom Tryniski's website "Fulton History" frequently in my research, that being said I want to be confident that I'm forming accurate citations. Looking at my older citations, I did something like this:
First Reference Note:
Now that you can order color JPEGs of the original draft cards for $7 a pop, I couldn't resist buying a few. I'm a bit lost as to how to cite them though. For those of you not familiar with the process, you place an order, and then you're emailed JPEGs of the front and back of the original card.
I have read the various forum entries regarding citing atDNA results as well as 4.10 from EE, "Citing Genetic Sources for History Research Evidence Style," and the QuickLesson 21. Based on all of those it seems it is less complicated than anticipated.
I want to cite a "match" from a particular test taker's results. This is what I have come up with. Is it correct?
My question is likely an issue of personal preference, but I would like some input and advice. I currently use the following format for rural grave marker citations...
Source List
Liberty HIll Baptist Church Cemetery (Montgomery County, North Carolina, 5.5 WSW of Troy on SR 1134). Grave marker.

I wrote to the Massachusets secritarty of state and they provided a "copy of record of death" for someone who died in 1850. Given how I understand records work from that erra, I think they consulted the registry and filled out the certificate. They provided the year, volume, page and item number for the record. I'm just not sure what model to use. It's an official document with seal, so I'm not sure if I should cite it as a certificate or as a register model.
Thanks for your help!
I have crafted a citation for a land record archived at the Maryland State Archives online land records database. The citation is based on EE 3.16 Digital Archive Records, Online Databases with Images.
I have found two different online content providers of digital images of the same newspaper (neither one being an online archive by that newspaper). Based on the example in EE (3rd), #14.22, at the bottom of page 808, it appears to me that it's appropriate or okay for me to have a single source list entry, referring just to the newspaper, with the online websites simply showing up in the various reference notes. Is that correct? Thanks.

I'm attempting to cite a newspaper clipping that was uploaded as an image to an Ancestry family tree. I've tried to combine the citation for a newspaper clipping (EE 3.36) with some of the good ideas I've seen on other threads on these forums about citing Ancestry family trees (https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/re-citation-ancestry-family-trees-actually-i-think-theyre-unproven ; https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/ancestrycom-public-member-photographs), to come up with the following:
Dear Editor,
My friend and fellow genealogist and I are pondering the lack of parentheses around part of the location/jurisdiction in most cases in EE, as opposed to their use in 2.31 and 7.12, for example. Here are reference notes from 2.31 and 7.12:
2.31
1. Christian County (Kentucky), 1799 Tax Book, List 2; Kentucky State Historical Society, Frankfurt; FHL microfilm 7,926.
and
7.12
2. St. Mary’s Church (New Orleans, Louisiana), Marriage Book 3, p. 91, Guérin-Mailloux; Archives of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Hello,
I have digitally created a "collage" of a number of documents and photographs. I am trying to write a citation for the image. This is what I have come up with. Any nits would be appreciated. My plan is to include all the information below in the discription field on an Ancestry tree.
Thank you,
Ann C Gilchrest
