I've been transcribing a document related to a fourth greatgrandmother which is part of a court case file for a case heard in the Charleston District Court [SC] Court of Common Pleas. This is a photocopy of the original record obtained from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.
In December 2014 I created a citation for a person of interest appearing in a Dutch database. My original citation read,
Delft, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, birth record 1884, no. 989, Johannes van Santen, 16 December 1884; database, Delft Archief, Digitale Stamboom Delft, (http://www.archief.delft.nl : accessed 8 December 2014). query: registry office from 1812: birth, town/city: Delft, achtenaam: Santen, voornaam: Johannes.
I ordered a CMSR online, and received a link to a digital image to download.
I have the first part of the citation: following the model in EE11.32 page 594. My question is, how to cite the layer -- the digital image.
First Reference Note would go (so far) (I think)

I cannot find in the book how to cite Funeral Home Records that are actual photocopies of the original record held by the Funeral Home and not transcriptions. Assistance appreciated. Thank you.
I have accessed a census collection on Findmypast.ie, and I'm wondering how I would go about citing the transciption results. I've gotten familiar with citing digital images of U.S. censuses, but Scotland doesn't have images available on the website, only a transcription of what that the census says.
Because the results are a transcription held in a database, I am leaning towards modeling my citation after the example provided in EE (2nd edition) section 6.51(Online Database (Ancestry)).
Does this appear to be adequate?
When does a certificate, birth/marriage/death, go from becoming a state/city issued certificate to a privately held artifact.
I have many of these certificates, some which I inherited, some I have ordered myself.
In all cases I am questioning, I have the physical paper in my possession. Does this automatically make it an artifact?
Or if I’ve ordered them they are an artifact, and I inherited them they are a state/city issued certificate?
Thank You,
Debbie
I would appreciate feedback from this forum and EE on my crafting of the citation. I have read EE and hope I have done this correctly. My source is a naturalization record from Ancestry for an individual Hyman Tolinsky, file 134167. Here is what I have created.
The Arizona State Genealogical Library was boxed up and moved to an archive building (about 20,000 cataloged items). The plan is to digitize the Arizona related items and items out of copyright and then dispose of them. The library has indicated that once the items are disposed of they will be deleted from the catalog. In the meantime, the catalog information hasn't been changed to reflect the new location of the materials. Should I use the catalog information for the citation or should I update my citation to show the new location?
Hi,
Say I have 10 or more land entries mentioned in the main text, but none are specifically discussed. Including these in the Source List is not a problem; but, I also want them included in my End Notes since the details of each would otherwise be lost or at least not included (and I do want them included).
Does this mean I would include the full citations for all 10 land entries in one (rather large) End Note? If so, what form would this take; begin each entry as a separate paragraph within the note?
If this is not recommended, then may I have your suggestions?
I have a photocopy of a page from a baptismal register of a church that has recently closed. The photocopy was given to me by the church office staff when I visited the church several years ago. When I learned that the church had closed, I tried to track down what had happened to the original record books. They are not at the church's branch location or at its denominational office; I was told that they were given to a nearby library with a large genealogical collection for the local area.
