Citation Issues

How to cite a Gravestone Rubbing and/or Foil

How would one cite the following situation:

I have a photograph of a gravestone with tracing paper on it after a wax rubbing was made.  Most of the stone is ledgible from the rubbing, but the month of the death date is still a little vague and its reading is a little subjective.  (I think it says June, but an arguement could be made that it says Jan.)  I have the following questions:

1)  Would I cite this as a gravestone, a photograph, or an artifact?

Name is misspelled on finding aid but not on original Doc?

I'm using a local county website to retrieve digital images of many documents (marriage, wills, etc.) pertaining to my family history.  I'm not having an issue citing the actual images or where I found them.  My question is this...on more than one occasion, the name is misspelled (sometimes mangled) in the index but then once I pull up the image of the original document, the name is spelled correctly.  Basically, the index has transcription errors.  What does this do to the citation?  I'm not citing the index.  I'm citing the original document with the correct spelling.

NCGenWebProject website citation

EE,
At the NCGenWebProject website are located pages for every county. Tyrrell County is www.ncgenweb.us/TYRRELL.HTM. On that page are links to indexes for Probate, marriage Bonds etc., including the repository name which holds those records. As usual websites just confuse me. So I could use a bit of guidance AGAIN! Here is my version:

"Tyrrell County, NC Genealog-Probate Records," NCGenWebProject (www.ncgenweb.us/TYRRELL.HTM : accessed 2 September 2016), index entry for Robert Sawyer estate, located at N.C. Archives, Tyrrell County Estates, C.R. 096.508.29.

Partial repost: "Citing an FHL published digitized PDF microfilmed manuscript with compiler as author"

I have emails of the replies to a lost item from the late July server crash. They do not what I posted but do include EE's replies. I am reposting them here now in case they are of later interest.

I have (and currently cannot find!) a photocopy of handwritten, folder-bound booklets that a distant cousin wrote in 1975 when she was in her 80s. Most of the writing was to document our common ancestors' descendants, although there is a little bit about where they came from, why, and church memberships. I have written before using information from this source and am transferring it to a new article.

Will book vs. Death book citations

From EE 10.30 example 3, I formed this long form will book citation. The will book contains transcripts of original wills. It is located in the Hancock County, Indiana, Clerk's office in Greenfield:

     29. Hancock County, Indiana, Will Book 1: 183-184, Coonrod S. Coon; Hancock County Clerk, Greenfield.

Date to use when vital event is recorded in following year

I have run into several cases in which a birth, marriage, or death occurred in late December and was not recorded until the following January. It makes sense to me to include both the event year and the year the event was recorded in a citation. What is the usual practice?

Also, is it acceptable to include the full date of the event in these cases, as I'm inclined to do?

Thanks.
