I need to cite a translation from German to English. The translation was done by a translation expert through the Germanology Unlocked website. How do I cite this translation? Thank you in advance!
I'm working on 1850 U.S. census citations. Below is a link for the example I am using, and my citation.
https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/10032125:8054
Van Buren County, Arkansas, population schedule, Craig Township, sheet 318B (stamped), dwelling 303, family 303, James Stroud household; imaged, Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/8054 : accessed 19 Aug 2024).
A Fold3 search revealed my ancestor applied for a War of 1812 Bounty Land Warrant (BLW). I electronically requested, and received (via a temporary online link), the BLW Application file from NARA. File documents stated the application was “suspended” and appealed. No appeal results or BLW approval was found in the file.
I am trying to accurately cite the birth certificate for my great-great-grandfather, who was born in 1905. He obtained a delayed birth certificate in 1940. I should first explain that Florida has two types of birth certificates - the computer-generated short form, and the photocopy-generated long form. I have both. Also, this particular delayed birth certificate was not issued through the county or by a court - it was issued administratively by the state vital statistics office pursuant to the law in effect at the time.
Good day Editor and community,
Hello EE,
I hope you can help me with some questions regarding some differences between your book's 3rd and 4th editions.
1. The first question is regarding newspaper titles when the city is missing from the title. The third edition uses parentheses, whereas the fourth edition uses brackets. Why the change?
2. I’m trying to understand the nature of the citation for the Civil War Soldiers & Sailors System in EE 12.27 Online Databases or Indexes and the changes from the 3rd to 4th edition. Perhaps my understanding of the site is different from yours.
Hello EE,
I understand that only the population schedules of the 1910-1940 U.S. census have survived, eliminating the need to specify the schedule as in prior censuses. But the 1950 census does have other schedules. Should we not specify that we are citing the "population schedule?"
I read with interest your response to the ’FamilySearch website layer’ inquiry (https://www.evidenceexplained.com/index.php/node/2289).
My issue is ‘cite what you use’. While researching marriages in Arkansas, I used the ‘Arkansas, county marriages : COLLECTION RECORD, 1837-1957’ at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1417439
Hello again, EE,
Thank you for pointing me to several sections in EE4, Chapter 11, that provide explanations and examples re: the questions I asked in https://www.evidenceexplained.com/index.php/node/2294 . (I’m posting this as a separate thread because I read that the Forum’s software sometimes misses follow-up responses.) I’m embarrassed that I didn’t recognize the appropriateness of the sections you specified on my own and very much appreciate your suggesting them.
