The Archives départementales de l'Isère is a bit unusual, since it does not provide any ark-URLs for directly referencing the images. So; specifying a path seems the only way to cite an image. If I've managed to follow the rules correctly, it seems that the following would be one way of citing the material:
Good afternoon,
I didn't find any specific CMSR citation examples using Fold3 in EE, but in creating my citation below I referenced EE 11.32 as well as this forum post: https://www.evidenceexplained.com/index.php/content/quicklesson-19-layered-citations-work-layered-clothing
I obtained an ancestor's obituary from my hometown public library that they retrieved from their archived newspaper collection on microfilm. Attached is a copy of the beginning of roll 4. The Reference Specialist told me the roll covered the dates September 1, 1892, to January 24, 1895. She also said the microfilm collection doesn't have a specific ID, just the beginning date of the first newspaper on the roll and the end date of the last newspaper on the roll. The obit was located on page 1, column 6 of the November 9th, 1893, issue of the Loudonville Democrat.
How many layers do I need to cite a transcribed/edited document described as (copied directly from the website):
We are fortunate that John Myers’ great-grandson, John H. Myers, a direct descendant of Jim Thornton Myers, wrote the family history in the summer of 1942, and send it to his relatives still living in Alabama. Please enjoy.
The document that follows was:
Compiled and written by John H. Myers, Floydada, Texas, June, 1942
Submitted by Floyd Guthrie, and provided here with his permission
I would like to cite an entry in a Death Index dataset downloaded from the French INSEE site. I've tried to use the format for a webpage, but citing an entry contained in a downloaded ZIP-file is a bit out of the ordinary. Could I get some feedback on the following attempt or perhaps some suggestions on a better format?
I've come across an ancestor who died in WW1, but whose death registration was delayed until 1922. For this reason, I'm trying to be careful with making a precise citation of the image I've fount in the departmental archives of Jura, France.
The microfilms for the Ètat Civil, clerks copy, are almost always not true books, even though the records are often bound.
Hello again,
Happy belated Thanksgiving!
I have a 2 volume set of books that I own. The title is: Early Settlers of Lee County, Virginia and Adjacent Counties. Volume 1 is by Anne Wynn Laningham and Volume 2 is by Hattie Muncy Bales.
I am currently working on cleaning up and correcting my sources and citations. What a project!!
Hello,
I present my attempt at citing a transcription of church records found at USGenWeb. The models that seem to apply are a website as a book with multiple chapters and transcribed bible pages online (EE p. 126-28). I chose to use the author as the lead element. Using the creator of the record seems problematic since we have no image of what the author used, its location, or if it's a bound volume, loose papers, or even the actual title of anything.
Anyone who does research on Italian immigrants to the U.S., especially those who didn't read or write, is used to seeing variant spellings of surnames--doubled consonants where the name has one, an "o" at the end instead of an "i." If a document has Caffarelli, Cafarella, or Caparelli instead of Cafarelli, I transcribe what I see in the citation. But is there a convention for writing a reference note for a vital record with two spellings of the subject's name where one is another step removed from the correct spelling based on the child's Italian birth record?
