Dear EE,
I’m currently researching ancestors from Dorset, England and have adopted a database-first citation style that I found in your exchange with Jennifer, beginning 11/10/2019 (Layering Citations | Evidence Explained.
Following that model, I’ve created a first reference footnote for the baptism of James Welch:
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
Hello again, I didn't think I would be back in the forum so soon.
This time I am referencing to 3.16, Digital Archive Records (3rd Ed Revised/Kindle).
These are the current details I have come up with:
Source List:
"Nicholas Philip Trist Papers, 1765-1903." Image copies. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. UNC: University Libraries. https://library.unc.edu/ : 2022.
Reference Note:
Referencing to 12.61, E-Books & Dissertations (3rd Ed Revised/Kindle).
I am looking for an opinion on the following citation, as it is my first one relating to this type of source. The WWW is such an amazing place to find so many helpful and different things when researching!
the Recommended Citation is:
Merrill, Emily, "Judging Empire: Masculinity and the Making of the British Imperial Army, 1754-1783"
(2015). Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 1893.

Hello,
I have a marriage record that I am trying to cite. It is on Ancestry.com and from Tennessee, U.S. Marriage Records, 1780-2002.
Here is how Ancestry cites it:

Description
Year: 1838 Jun-1850 Nov: Marriages, (Refilmed) 2
Source Information
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.
In RootsMagic, a Master Source is a general record that may be used again and again. Where my confusion lies is in how to input a correct Source Citation for the specific person, that a specific part of a Master Source refers to. Do I simply customize the Footnote or does it go somewhere else?
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.
Source List Entry
Hello,
I have read through the previous posts regarding Find A Grave and I see an example of what I have been using. Then I looked at the example in your book of the QuickCheck Model on Grave Markers: Images Online. Since I am new at creating the citations myself (not relying on software), I am still unsure if I am doing it correctly. Below is the citation that I have made using that example.
Source List Entry (EE)
In Quick Lesson 26, EE walked through citing a death certificate from Ancestry resulting in the citation looking like this:
Hello,
I have a death certificate from New York State. I wrote to the county office (Monroe County) to request this certificate. It is a copy of a Certificate of Death issued by the New York State Department of Health. At the bottom of the certificate it says: This Certificate must be filed with the local registrar within 72 hours after death. On the side of the certificate there is a green stamp that says: Genealogy Use only not an official copy.
