Citation Issues

Citing US National Governmnet Record

I am trying to cite The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies using the basic format for books as a starting point and incorporating guidance and examples from EE 11:24-11.25  Some of the unique aspects of this work present some additional challenges and questions.  As a side note, although this work is also included in the U.S. Serial Set which is covered in 13.26-13.40, they were also published as a stand alone work which is what I am trying to cite.

Digital Images from Archives.gov

I am citing a digital image of a microfilm publication available from the Archives.gov website. The images were digitized by The Genealogical Society and are also availbe on the FamilySearch website, but the quality of the image from the Archives website is better.

If I were siting the image from Family Search, I would use a three layer citation with:

Following that model, I’ve created  a first reference footnote for the baptism of James Welch:

citing references during presentations

I am looking for a new way of citing references during presentations.  Putting references in a tiny box at the bottom of the slide seems to defeat the purpose of citing references, to tell where I found that information and to give credit to the author.  Besides that, people are squinting at the slide trying to see what it says instead of listening to the discussion.  I would much prefer to put the citations in the handout where people can read them later and refer to the source if they wish.  My problem is that I have not been able to find an example of this, or how I could do this within

RootsMagic 8 Confusion with Sources and Citations

I am hopeful that someone here can guide me. I use RootsMagic 8 and have been using the Sources provided in the program or those from Ancestry, etc. for the actual Source. In viewing EE, I would like to do a better job of sources/citations but now I am confused.

Citing a digitized Image Copy of a Church Record Book from Archion

Hello!

 

I have looked for a birth record for one of my ancestors for about a year and a half and I finally found it on Archion!  I also found records for her parents and brothers and sisters there so I want to make sure that I have a correct understanding of the citation for these records before I gather all of them.  I am not sure I am putting the correct information for the Record component of the Source List Entry for this particular group of records.
