Citation Issues

Hello,

I am sorry to become a perennial nuisance on this forum, but I am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to accurately cite Records & Briefs from the New York State Appellate Division, which are contained within a published volume.

I'm trying to cite a government publication. On the title pages it states "Compiled Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior" and then names the compiler.  https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo.31924112812361&seq=7

I realize that we typically cite the agency as the author, but do we also cite the compiler when one is given?

I have the EE-book, ed. 3 (revised). I'm trying to decide what "style" of citation to use for the following case. I'm thinking that it lends itself to using something like the QuickCheck Model, Archived Manuscript Records (Series as lead element in Source List). If there is a more appropriate "style", I would appreciate hearing which one is recommended.

Situation:

My grandmother was an ordained minister. I contacted the church that ordained her, to see if they had any records they'd be willing to share - specifically her ordination certificate. They advised that they don't maintain copies of the actual certificates, but what they do maintain is a "Registration Form for Ministerial Office." A copy is below. I'm trying to figure out how to cite this. I did receive it as an image copy, but via e-mail from the church office.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to appropriately cite to declassified FBI reports that were obtained via FOIA.

The report's cover-sheet includes the following header:

While I would like to reference headshots and images that are not linked to "events" or "attributes", my software does not provide the ability to do so. This is likely a widespread issue and relevant to other genealogists and family historians, as the current GEDCOM 5.5.1 doesn't actually have provisions that support it. In short; many programs require an image to be attached to source via an event or attribute. They cannot handle citations attached directly to images. This is why census images and the like are not an issue, but headshots are a problem.

I am working with images of church records found at Ancestry, and I am hoping for some feedback on my citation attempt.  The images are of church books in Norwegian, with several listed in one filmstrip.  All books in the filmstrip have targets starting with FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH, NORTHWOOD, IOWA, but the books are from different congregations of the church.  The books have different sections for baptisms, confirmations, marriages, etc.  Here's what I have settled on:

Layer 1:

I received some documents via email from a librarian. I am tempted to cite them as part of an archive, but I also know we should cite what we use, and I have not physically visited this library, so should I cite the email I received or the archives from which the attached documents came?

Thanks!

Do citations need to be repeated once a fact (like a birth or marriage) has been established? For example, in a KDP, the birth, death and marriage dates are listed for each child and then reported again when the child is discussed later. Is the same information cited again?

I think I remember reading somewhere that it didn't, but I can't find the reference now. I could also be remembering incorrectly.

Thanks.

In EE 4th edition, on p. 252, regarding the 1910-1940 censuses, I noted the following: "Only the population schedules have survived, thereby eliminating the need for citations to specify which schedule is being cited."

The examples given follow that rule. However, when I refer to Template 13, the descriptor "population schedule" is included as a building block.

Can you clarify please?

Thank you
