Citation Issues

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,

David

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.

Editor,
Is a Probate packet considered one source? Or, is each document, therein, an individual source?

I'm sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but maybe I'm more than a little foggy today.

I want to cite a publication that has a proper title, but I also want to include the informal title that almost everyone today knows it by -- primarily because that's what I was searching for when I managed to locate the source, and would very likely be what other researchers would be expecting.

How would I specify both titles?

I would like to create a citation for an individual appearing on the book page at:

https://books.google.com/books?id=F01KAAAAMAAJ&q=kezia#v=onepage&q=keziah&f=false

If one clicks on the title page at the left of the screen, one sees that this book is a creation of Higginson Genealogical Books.  That company, as I understand it, photocopies book pages and binds those pages together, apparently only making one change of adding their information to the title page.

I have recieved, from my uncle, a digital image of his notification of birth registration. The certificate was issued via the U.S. Dept of Commerce, Bureau of Census. The certificate blank was printed by the U.S. government printing office in the year prior (1936) to my uncle's birth (1937). It states the record of birth is registered and preserved at the State Registrar of vital Statistics in Lincoln, Nebraska. Obviously this is NOT a State issued birth certificate.

I just received a marriage certificate from Ireland, which I requested online from the General Record Office, but am a bit at a loss on how to cite the document.  It is a certificate which includes a copy of the original document.  I received a paper copy but a scanned image is attached.

There are basically 2 layers (I think)

I have a blank copy of a Warranty Deed (a deed which conveys real estate from the current owner to the new owner upon completion of the property sale), which was provided to me at the closing of a real estate transaction.  The original Warranty Deed was signed by all parties, and then send to the County for recording, but I was given a photocopy of that deed before we all executed it, for my records.  I'm having trouble finding a good way to create a citation for this photocopy of the Warranty Deed that was given directly to me by the Title Company closer.
