Question: How does one address the issue of making a (relatively) EE compliant reference to a nameplate on a box containing cremation ashes? I have a photo of said box with the name of the person, DOB and DOD with no other information available.
Dear EE,
This is my first go at citing a newspaper article. I have consulted https://www.evidenceexplained.com/node/1679.
Reference Note:
I have a question about citing an image of a compiled military service record found at the National Archives Catalog website. Unlike at Fold3, there's no database title; instead, the image is described as part of a NARA series and record group. The image is also offered without reference to the microfilm production [M258, roll 85], but it has a unique identifier, used in the URL: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/22028291. Interestingly, the image is from Fold3.
So, here is an attempt at a reference note citation using 11.32 with a layer for the image:
I am trying to prepare a template that will cover the situation of revised editions and/or multi volumes.
The basic format for a published book is:
Author, role, Book Title (Pub Location: Publisher, Year), page.
and for multiple volumes, EEv3, 12.69, p. 705 guides us to include the total number of volumes immediately after the Title:
Author, role, Book Title, X volumes (Pub Location: Publisher, Year), page.
and for a revised edition, EEv3, QCM, p. 651, shows the edition data should be placed immediately after the Title:
Dear EE,
By way of confirming my grasp of Ancestry's method of source information, I would appreciate a critique of this citation draft (and no, I don't intend to run all my future drafts by you, lol);
Dear EE,
In an earlier thread (http://www.evidenceexplained.com/node/2121) you guided me in crafting a schoolbook on Ancestry citation:
Dear EE,
How do I cite a War of 1812 widow's pension files that were obtained from NARA in person?
I have downloaded a death certificate from a state archive. Do I reference the certificate or the website first?
In studying EE I frequently encounter references to "the database" but, so far nothing that firms up (for me) how to confidently recognize that it is a database I'm consulting.
