Citation Issues

Ancesty.com's database and images for the 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census title matches the Library and Archives of Canada's (LAC) titles for these census years. The special census' of 1906 and 1916 the Ancestry.com and LAC database titles don't match. Ancestry titles them 1906 or 1916 Canada Census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. While LAC titles them Census of the Northwest Provinces, 1906 and Census of the Prairie Provinces, 1916. As seen here: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/census/index-e.html

Hi,

I have a letter my grandmother wrote to me in 1980.  Both my name and location have changed, and I will likely move again, being married to a pastor.

Per EE 3.35, here is my stab at an appropriate citation:

     1.  Laura Ellis Doody (Homewood, Illinois) to "Dear Paula" [Doody], letter, 27 June 1980, page 2; privately held by Paula Doody Ryburn, Richmond, Texas.

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,

--Paula in Texas

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

Ann
