Citation Issues

I'm using the 3rd edition, 2015, of EE, and am struggling to figure out how to cite a database: the Geneva Genealogy Society (www.gen-gen.ch/).  I've looked at 1.23 and 2.34.  The database on this website does not have images and as far as I can tell, not being able to read French, the sources of the information are not given.  And I don't know what type of digital file it is.

I think what I'm doing is citing an index entry.

Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

Dear Editor,

I originally was going to have a single section of endnotes at the end of a book; however, the number of notes is becoming difficult to work with.

Now, I'm planning to place the endnotes at the end of each chapter, so in each chapter the endnotes will start over at number 1.

Suppose I reference the same source in Chapter 2 and Chapter 4. In Chapter 2, I would include the full citation. What about Chapter 4, would I fully cite the source again since it's a different chapter?

How does one cite tax records compiled into a book?

I have been reviewing my citations for a book that I am writing, and I discovered today that Ancestry has removed the following records: "Connecticut, Wills and Probate Records, 1609-1999." 

Here's my question: would I have to change my citation to reflect that I viewed the Will on Ancestry, but show that the records are no longer available there? 

Hi,

I have received clarifying information from an archivist through email. Some of this information I should cite, since I intend to use it in a publication.

Provided I have obtained permission from the archivist to use identifying information, is it generally recommended or acceptable to include such information in the citation?

On the other hand, if the archivist declines to be identified, then I suppose it must be acceptable to refer to the email generically, using the guidlines found in EE?

Many thanks to EE for your responses!

I have a digital scan (2016) of a Certified Copy (1977, now in my fathers possession) of a Delayed Birth Certificate (issued 1942) for the birth of my grandmother (1920).

The certified copy also contains some additional information, as it still has the perforated mailer attached with address it was sent to, and is addressed to my grandmother as Mrs. Husbands Name. (residence and spousal evidence). This info wouldn't be on any other copies of this.

Hello everyone,

How do you cite Y-DNA and big  y DNA evidence?  I'm working on a project that requires this kind of evidence

Sincerely,

Hi,

I have a book (and I have seen other examples) that uses detailed and comprehensive endnotes in the style suggested by EE, but does not include a bibliography or source list.

Before seeing this I had wondered about this in the sense that since the endnotes already include robust and detailed information concerning my sources, is a bibliography even needed?

I would be appreciative if EE could comment on this question.

I've gotten to questioning how I've cited some state censuses.  Here's an example:

1915 Iowa state census, Adair County, population schedule, Fontanelle, census card no. 180, David C. Dentler; image, FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org/ : viewed 09 Apr. 2016); Family History Library (FHL) microfilm 1,379,446, [surnames starting] De - Dm.  This census used individual cards for each person enumerated.

This census was taken on cards: population information was on the face and farm information (if applicable) on the back.  The cards are untitled.
