I recently received an email containing a photocopy of a South Carolina census record that was found in a manuscript housed at a local archive. I'm not sure if I should use the EE citation method for e-mails, use the manuscript it was found in, or both?
Can someone please clarify?
Thank you.
I'm scratching my head whether to cite the name of a newspaper as printed on its masthead, or use the name listed in the publishing information in the newspaper.
I used the name of the newspaper as listed in its publishing information (Section A, Page 2-A, column 1) to create this citation:
"Antiques," Omaha (Nebraska) World-Herald, 30 Sep 1973, Metropolitan Edition, section D (pt. 1), page 3, column 6, auction sale, Alden A. Zastera and Roma Zastera; image copy, GenealogyBank (http://www.genealogybank.com : viewed 20 Feb 2015).
Hi,
I have a lineage that contains about 150 persons traced back into Denmark. I also have hundreds of documents pertaining to these persons that support the lineage (birth, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, deaths, censuses, etc.).
Now, the archives (Danish National Archives) has completely changed the way their data is located and the opslag (web page numbers) are all different; the links (apart from the base page address) are all different; as is the navigation to the source pages.
Dear EE,
I am trying to use your "Newsletters (Online Images)" template (Evidence Explained, Kindle ed., p. 806) to create a citation and reference note for information retrieved from an online image of a London Gazette issue.
The London Gazatte is England's oldest official newspaper or government journal of record, publishing offical notices, military commissions, officer promotions and State or Royal honours and awards, etc.

I am having a difficult time crafting a citation because I don't know what to call this document that is from FamilySearch's United States Mexican War Pension Index, 1887-1926:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GBC8-PBJ?mode=g&i=2133&wc=M61R-NM9%3A321929601%3Fcc%3D1979390&cc=1979390
I would appreciate your informing me what document it is.
As in the CMSR record I recently ordered and received, I just received a Civil War pension file from NARA. Again there is NO citation information. Wihtout it, it's more difficult to create a citation than with the CMSR. I cannot find the record group # on the NARA web site. Am still looking. Would I treat it like the CMSR file we discussed a few weeks ago?
Greetings,
The Library and Archives of Canada online has several archived virtual exhibits. My first attempt at this citation is:
Canada ( Ottawa, Canada), “I Do: Love and Marriage in 19th Century Canada,” 26 June 2008, archives virtual exhibit, Library and Archives of Canada ( www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/love-and-marriage/031001-3100-e.html/ : accessed 15 June 2013), unpaginated, “ Weddings: A Community Affair.”
In citing a death certficate, which year do you use when the event date and filing date do not match? I have one where a death occurred in August 1944, but the official "date received" stamp is January 1945. I've always assumed it was the year of the event, but now that I have a record with two different years, I'm not certain which one is the proper one to use.
I have received a DAR supporting documentation file that includes 3 different affidavits for long-lost family bibles. Here’s the citation I’ve come up with for them:
Bible and Cemetery Records of Catherine Edwards and Family, affidavit of Mrs. C. E. Austin [Erma Tradewell Austin] in documentation file supporting Membership Application of Susan Tradewell Lopau (National no. 518297) on David Secor Sr. (1721-1791, New York), submitted 29 Apr 1966; National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Office of the Registrar General, Washington, D.C.
