Citation Issues

I've been searching Evidence Explained, Second Edition, for a proper way to cite an online high school yearbook, but I'm not finding a direct reference in the index for yearbooks (online or printed).  I'm under the impression that perhaps yearbooks would be handled under another section in EE, but I'm unsure of what section to base my citation on.  Can you provide guidance?

I have found information online for which I am trying to create a citation. However, my source has me confused.

Dear Editor,

I have been working with World War I Draft Registration Cards and noticed some differences between the laminated QuickSheet, City Ancestry.com® Databases & Images, and my copy of Evidence Explained, 2007.

The format of the Full Reference Note is slightly different.

Page 598, [11.33] includes the Serial Number and the Order Number, while the Quick sheet only calls for a "no. ".

I recently posted this question in the Transitional Genealogist Forum, but didn't get a response. (I probably didn't send it out correctly. Always have trouble with that.)

I'm not sure this is the best forum as none of them fit my question exactly. I am using Evidentia software and it includes EE references by page number for each of the templates that it uses to create citations. I am wondering if the page numbers will match only the printed book or also the digital book. I'd love to have the physical book but since it's OOP and copies are $75+, the digital version would fit my budget better. That said, if the page numbers that are referenced in Evidentia don't match the digital version, I'm better off investing in the hard copy.

Hello Everyone,

I have concerns regarding how to cite resumes, curriculum vitaes, and how credible these types of materials are.  I have several CV’s for individuals in my family tree that point out particular bits of information concerning career, and community activities that I feel add to the understanding of who these individuals were, they also add the over all timeline to each person’s life—thus these  sources assist in writing up a narrative for each person.

Hello,

I have created digital image of a map. The map shows locations along the route of a ship sailing from Liverpool to NYC in 1852. The actual locations were taken from newspaper articles reporting that they spoke to the Captain along the route. The map was created using a downloaded map and a vector image of a sailing ship. My plan is to cite the actual locations from the newspaper in the text. This is the citation I have come up with for the actual image which I titled Ship Richard Morse Route June - July 1852.

Marriage License Applications and Returns for the 1890s for Rutherford County, North Carolina are held as loose records. The original records do not contain an identifying number. They are held in file drawers organized by year, in file folders by first letter of the groom’s last name, then alphabetically within each folder. In 2002, the Genealogical Society of Old Tryon County photocopied the original records, and holds their copies in file cabinets organized in the same manner as that used by the County for the originals.

While reading Evidence Explained QuickModel, Digital Images, Online Commercial Site example (EE p. 240), under the First (Full) Reference Note, one of the elements of the citation is a "Page ID".  In this example for Virgil and Wyatt Earp's 1850 census entry, the Page ID is "p. 290 (stamped)".

I went to the digital census image for one of my own ancestors in search of this Page ID and was confounded by all of the handwritten numbers in the upper right corner of the image.  I could not tell which one was the "page number".

Are there any recommendations for citing a presentation, i.e. a real in-the-flesh one as opposed to an online one?

Some things, such as the author, title, and date are obvious, but what about the location and/or nature of the audience (e.g. a Society), and who the author represented (maybe a guest speaker from an organisation).

I guess I would also need to indicate whether I'm relying on recollection, notes, handouts, or something else, too.
