Newbie here...Well, I was feeling good about creating citations until recently. Now I'm second guessing myself. I started citing marriage records. Here is my citation:
Looking at two examples in QuickSheet: Citing Ancestry Databases & Images:
For the "City Directories: Images" example, waypoints to the image are given in the citation.
For the "Draft Registrations: Images" example, search terms are given to find the record/image ("imaged card for Clovis Julian, no. 120, New Orleans Draft Board 13"). I looked this up at Ancestry and found the waypoints to this image to be Louisiana > New Orleans City > 13 > Draft Card J > image 393 of 425.
This question would never have arisen if I hadn't seen the actual register.
I found my great-grandparents in a a city directory. They are entered as: Hendrickson Clark V (Ollie).
Their actual full names are Clarkson Valentine Hendrickson and his wife Olive Currie (Anderson) Hendrickson.
2.16 specifiies to cite the names exactly and then insert the correction in square brackets. But these names aren't necessarily wrong ... they just aren't exact.
a) so is it necessary to clarify shortened names ?
Dear EE:
I just wanted to check if the version of QuickSheet: Citing Online Historical Resources which is available from Amazon for the Kindle is the latest version.
The preview shows that it is the "First Revised Edition c 2007."
At Genealogical.com, the description says "Second Edition" but also says 2007.
I purchased the Kindle version of QuickSheet: Citing Ancestry.com Databases & Images this morning and I figured Historical Resources would be a good compliment for non-Ancestry sources.
Thanks
Jeff
Given that FamilySearch is no longer distributing microfilms how does that change our use of the film number in a citation.
I need help to determine if I am thinking this citation through correctly.

Many of us have inherited bank documents, personal checks, and check registers of our ancestors. I am crafting an article and presentation about what we can learn about families by reviewing their old canceled checks. I would appreciate guidance on creating a citation for personal checks and check registers in footnotes, both as the initial and subsequent citations. I assume the same format you recommend for personal checks/registers would apply to business checks and registers.
I need to temporarily cite an entry in Ancestry's "New York, New York, U.S., Index to Death Certificates, 1862-1948" database.
Ancestry provide this information:
New York City Department of Records & Information Services; New York City, New York; New York City Death Certificates; Year: 1911
Ancestry.com. New York, New York, U.S., Index to Death Certificates, 1862-1948 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT. USA: 2020.
When I add reference notes from two sources, but both relate to the same subject, I list them separately using two numbers. Is this correct?
