I need some help with citing a particular document. I downloaded some digitized images from TNA (UK) and now I'm really confused how to cite them. The exact item I downloaded can be found here: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1733893
This may appear to be a super dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway. It may not even belong in the EE forums, so I apologise in advance if it is not relevant.
I am just wondering what others do for the given name and any other name varients of their ancestor. Do you give a source/citation for their name with every given instance of a record that you may have found?
I'm not confident the best way to deal with archaic letters, spelling or language. For example, here's a citation where I've quoted an entire entry:
Normally when you cite an email you put [(E-ADRESS FOR PRIVATE USE),] but if the email is from an official of some sort (in this case the clerk of the circuit court) can you go ahead and put the actual email address? It seems a bit odd to privatize the email address of a govenment official.
Dear Editor,
With some changes that have been made on Ancestry.com and their Ancestry Member Trees, I have stepped back a bit to see IF I have been handling citations appropriately. My genealogy software may have driven me in the direction that I have taken.
Hi,
In most cases, for me anyway, I send for records by email, order online, or snail mail simply because I live at an inconvenient distance from the archives holding the records I need.
Here is a classic example that occurred recently. I sent to NARA for a copy of a widow's pension file, War of 1812. In the comments section of the online order form, I further requested that they include the location in their archives where the file is found so I can properly cite the record. But, of course they didn't remit the citation information.
First Reference Note -
In EE, there are some sources that use the acronym NARA (i.e. federal census records) and some that use National Archives (i.e. cash entry files). Does it matter?
All people are familiar with the assignment, essay writing task especially students. Many of the students are write the assignment with their own words and ideas but others buying assignment, essay from the essay writing service.

Students can get different information through the assignment writing work. If the students are using the writing services properly then they can easily and successfully complete their academic work.
I'm trying to cite several old birth announcements that don't actually name the child, just the parents. An example would be this announcement for my grandfather and his twin sister's birth.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Garrison, June 2, twins, a boy and girl. Both mother and children are doing nicely.

Hello, thanks for the guidance in crafting citations for my research. Here's a situation that I haven't seen explicitly addressed in the book or quicksheet:
