Citation Issues

Requested the Full Pension File Pre-Civil War (Mexican War) from NARA using for 85A. Received the CD containing a 40 page pdf of various documents. This is not like the carded civil war service records but medical evaluations, personal & state level affidavits/depositions, legal correspondence, pay increases, etc.

I'm having trouble determining how to cite this, especially since I have no idea the records group(s) from which all these pages were pulled.  This group of records is the essential and in some cases only proof of certain facts.

I am not quite sure as to the best way to cite a typescript of transcribed records that I found at the Maine Historical Society in Portland, Maine.

In 1895 Augustus Freedom Moulton compiled a transcription of the Records of the Second Congregational Church in Scarborough, Maine.

In 1926 Samuel D. Rumery prepared a typescript of the Moulton's transcription. The typesript is titled "Records of the Second Congregational Church in Scarborough, Maine."

Was at the local genealogy library Saturday and found my great-grandfather in the 1890 Chicago city directory.

I found the film number in the binder downstairs:  C38-D02, which meant cabinet 38, drawer 2 upstairs.

However, when I went upstairs, the film was actually (and correctly, based on alphabetizing) in drawer 5 of cabinet 38.

Which film number would I cite?  C38-D02 or C38-D05?

Thanks in advance,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for citing a cohabitation record? I have a photocopy of the Granville County NC cohabitation record from NC State Archives for my 4th great grandparents but I have no clue how to properly cite this record. Any help would be appreciated.

This is info they sent with the photocopy:

• Granville County Cohabitation Records
• C.044.61001
• Albert Wyche, Julia Ann Adkins
• 31 May 1866

On the back of the photocopy is stamped Electrostatic copy. 

I’d appreciate some help constructing a citation for the results of a pair of autosomal DNA tests undertaken to prove or disprove whether two living individuals are related to each other. The tests were conducted by FamilyTreeDNA, which has informed me that it does not have a recommended citation format.

I would like to reference some of the information found on the following website, specifically the "Confirmands of Swedlanda Luthern" which is listed under Swedlanda's Confirmation Classes at http://www.lutheransonline.com/servlet/lo_ProcServ/dbpage=page&mode=display&gid=20053335185829224201111555&pg=20053347146633498501111555    If I am on the right track, I think this would fall under sec 7.27 of EE, pg

In working with the 1790 census for New York specifically Argyle, Washington County. There are not line numbers listed on the page. I would like to list a line number in my citation, but this would be a counted number as opposed to a number actually on the page. In  EE there are examples of unpaginated 10th page for when you are counting the pages. Would the phrase "unnumbered 10th line" tell someone that you counted the lines?  

Thanks

I am not sure how to cite the following portion of a report I am working on. I found the following indexed information at 3 different websites,  (the same 5 deaths).  Familysearch.org credits Ancestry.com for the index at their website.

Do I. . .

 1. Reference all three websites and if I do- put it all in the same citation?

This maybe a case of too much information! I am trying to cite some petitions for land grants. I used the FHL microfilm 1630725

The FHL catalogue listing is as follows:

title: Petitions for land grants and leases, 1791-1967

authors: Upper Canada. Executive Council

roll information: C-2739 Perth Military Settlement, no. 13-29 1819-1825 Perth misc., petitions no. 1-14 1798-1820 Perth Military Settlement, petitions no. 30-77 1820-1825 Vol. 422, bundle Q-1 -- bundle Q-22 Vol. 422A, bundle Q-1 - Q-6, petition no. 4 1792-1852

I've been puzzling this source for some time and hope for input on this topic. The Notification of Birth Record notice that many of us have in our source collection was sent out by the Bureau of the Census and by individual states. These documents look official and give the birth registration number, but they are not an Official Certificate. How to cite?
