Citation Issues

I've drafted the following citations for Italian vital records I received via e-mail, one from a State Archive and one from an individual that offers a Record Retrieval Service, and would appreciate EE's insight. For the first layer, I followed Template 12 (birth or death certificate) as a guide, followed by an access layer, and a final citing layer for the repository. Looking forward to feedback!

Hi,

I haven't been able to find any guidance in EE 4th edition regarding the typing of reference notes.  I can see in the models that they are to be indented, but I'd like to edit the indentations in my WORD template to indent them correctly.  How many spaces am I to indent the reference number and reference?  Can someone please explain how I would do that in WORD? 

Hi,

I'm trying to create a citation for a probate file that has been digitized and is available online on the New Zealand Archives website. I've been looking at Template 10 Online Image (No named database) and section 4.15 of EE 4th ed. (the Online Images: Emphasis of Document section), and I'm a bit unsure whether the archive details (such as record number, item code and series number) belong in Layer 1 (where I have placed them) or layer three, about the Archive itself.

Here is what I have created:

Background:
I have found that I can use 6 fields in a comma-delimited field to specify the location of places and that it is adaptable to any place in the world. This structured approach was needed to allow me to keep the information in a mappable form in my genealogical program, yet use it in narratives and citations.

I'm trying to minimize the length of the parenthesized locations found in church-related citations. While I understand the need to unambiguously indicate the location of the authoring body, I note that the EE examples don't often seem to show the related country. Is this just the result of an assumption about the scope of a project being known from the context of a citation?

I am hoping you may be able to help me to properly cite a record I have in my possession. 

The record is the personal copy of the probate court record for the adoption and name change of my grandfather. It is from Wayne County, Michigan. I now possess the original copy that was given to my grandfather in 1956 (his adoption was in 1931). I am writing a research project to try and document the parentage of my grandfather and how I arrived there. In this report I have included a scan of this record. My confusion is in how I cite this properly.

I will confess that my favorite EE4 section is 2.62, Dashes vs. Hyphens, and I refer to it often! So, it's no surprise that a piece in The New York Times Magazine caught my eye yesterday called "With the Em Dash, A.I. Embraces a Fading Tradition," and I thought others here might enjoy it.

Finally getting around to adding citations for 1950 US Census records found on the National Archives History Hub website. A majority of my original census research occurred many years ago using microfilm at the National Archives. I set up all of my citations based on the published guide to citing records from NARA. Then as more digital records became available, I continued to add new census citations using the same guide. Those citations are lengthy and I looked to EE to see what I should've been using.

In 1998, my mother made a trip back to her hometown of Straubing, Germany. While she was there, she went to the Einwohnermeldeamt (Residents' Registration Office) and got copies of her and her siblings’ resident registration cards (Meldekarte). My sister found them while going through all of her things after she died. They were in a large box of old photographs and other documents.

After discussing online with others, I've crafted the following citation for a family record for the Arther Rogers family in Hartland, Vermont:
