Citation Issues

I contacted the Smith Library of Regional History in Oxford, Ohio for assistance in obtaining information on a person who had taught at the local university in the 1830's. In turn, they contacted the university's archives which sent them a two page paper that had been prepared at some point in the past which extracted and compiled references to this person from the university's board of trustees' meeting minutes journals and various other publications about the university. This two page paper was then forwarded on to me as an attachment to an email from the regional library manager.

How best to cite an original personally held document (baptism cert.) for which there is either a record entry or copy of the certificate in a church (Anglican) archive or record repository. Seems there is no way of knowing if the archived item is an entry in a record or a copy of the actual certificate.

Thanks!

I just recently discovered EE and I love it! I am currently trying to update all my citations, but I have one that is stumping me. I recenly found a land grant with an online image of the documents at the Texas GLO website. My first problem is that I cannot figure out if I should be citing this sources as a database or an archive. My second problem is the documents are an online image of the original documents kept at the Texas GLO Archives, so if I am not mistaken I am going to need to have 2 layers to the source, a layer for the actual document and a layer for the website.

This is one incredibly basic question but I still need to ask it to confirm: when creating a new Source Citation on FTM, should it be written in the format of a Source List Entry or a Full Reference Note?

If I am stating several items over multiple sentences relating to one source, do I place the note after the first sentence in the sequence or the last? 

Example 1, with note on the first sentence: In the 1900 census, John was living in Crawford County, Indiana.¹  He was working as a farmer.  His wife Sally and their three children were living with them. 

Hi. So I created abstracts of several census records for an NGS assignment. In the assignment I had to also include a picture of the evidence I used, which were digital images from Ancestry. When I made my source citation of the abstracts I had created, the grader said that they shouldn't be identified as abstracts and that they should be cited just as the census records I had cited.

Dear Editor,

I have looked and seen a number of questions about City Directories, but didn't see my specific question. Also, I didn't see my specific question in Evidence Explained (2015). Not that I expect every situation / citation addressed.

The QuickSheet for Citing Ancestry.com Databases & Images (p. 2) for City Directories didn't address the Online Images that I am seeing on Ancestry.

I want to take a stab at a citation / Reference Note based on my genealogy database program that has an Evidence Explained Template feature.

Hello,
I am wondering how to cite a Galizien Village Family Book.  I obtained it from Galizien German Descendants website, http://www.galiziengermandescendants.org.  The books are a compilation of data from church records mostly.  At one time you could purchase a CD containing several of the books and now a book of a single village can be purchased.  The following is the title of one of the documents I have on one village:
Ortsfamilienbuch Alt Jazów/Galizien 1786-1870
nach Unterlagen der Genealogischen Forschungsstelle der Galiziendeutschen

Having received "QuickSheet: Citing Genetic Sources for History Research," I am still a bit confused on deciding how to handle citations for comparing multiple atDNA matches.  For instance, using GEDmatch, I am comparing various atDNA cousin matches with two specific testers (i.e. "constants").  Do I create a seperate reference note for each comparison with the two constants? Or is there an simpler way to cite multiple comparisons?

Hi,

I am trying to cite a large number of old photographs that have been handed down to me (through the family line) from my Great-grandmother, Doris Perrin. I need clarification in citing an individual photo:
