Citation Issues

Dear EE,

I'm learning EE using 3rd Ed Revised, it's going well but source citations with FamilySearch digitized microfilms seem to be tricky, can you look at this previous citation I have that I'm trying to change to EE and see if I'm doing it right?

I believe you would consider this unpublished works, more of GSU preservation film.  It is digitized microfilm of Ireland's Register of Deeds in Dublin, there is no database, it is browsable images.

Hello again! I've been working on a citation to a map I found at the USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection online and referred to EE 12.67 & 12.68 for guidance. I'm feeling more confident with citations in general but am not quite sure on this one. I followed the URL for the map back to the homepage at https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ngmdb/ngmdb_home.html and the bottom of that page reads
"U.S. Department of the Interior | U.S. Geological Survey

Hi Elizabeth,

I ordered a circuit court case file from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives and received an image copy of the original loose documents. The case is regarding the sale of the land of HK Myers deceased by his widow, Elizabeth Myers, and his infant heirs by their guardian, WA Brann.

I reviewed chapter 8 of E.E. and searched your website for other "loose paper" posts but am not feeling confident about my citation.

The archivist who emailed me the images gave this citation: 

I'm working on a citation for a birth record I obtained via the Minnesota Historical Society.  I reviewed the discussion at https://www.evidenceexplained.com/node/2059, and it was very helpful, but my issue is a little different.

Hi! I'm uncertain about which location to cite for homestead records. Dennie submitted his application for land in Oklahoma Territory. By the time he "proved up," the area was part of Kiowa County. Shortly thereafter, it became Tillman County. Which do you think is most appropriate?

I have read several older posts concerning this subject, but failed to see what I view as a possible solution.  I have several pension files, both of the soldier and his widow, ordered by mail from NARA.  As noted in the other posts, no documentation was included.  Yes, you can cite the index, but this doesn't provide the details of where the file itself is located.  Would it not be acceptable practice to cite these copies as an "artifact", in my possession, with a note describing when and where they were obtained?  

I’m trying to cite an online image at FamilySearch of a Rhode Island Town Record (Birth, Marriage Deaths).

The image in question is: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6QRW-1W3?i=69&cc=2297208&cat=125060

Dear EE,

I have requested several death certificates from state vital records offices, and I received certified image copies of the originals.  I can tell they are the originals by the handwritten signatures and dates.  I have been citing them using the state-level vital records model, but now I am wondering whether I should indicate that they are image copies of the originals.  If so, is that another layer or do I just add "certified image copy of" birth certificate in the first layer?

I have 2 versions of my birth certificate that I am creating citations for as an exercise in understanding citation rules.  I would like some feedback about whether I am formatting the artifact version correctly.

Version 1:  State-issued photocopy of birth certificate with raised seal, supplied to me by my mother (artifact)
