I had found some Naturalization records for a family member online at Ancestry all within the same database. An application for admission, an oath and a petition.
Here's an example: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2280/images/32955_2421406261_0436-00228?
This should be an easy one to resolve. I have read through the chapter in EE on cemetery records (best book I ever purchased for research - I love it!) and I think I am almost there for a citation for the following grave. The grave is in a rural area but it has a street address. Civilization in getting closer to the grave so it's almost semi-rural now I guess. The grave itself consists of a headstone and a raised concrete border surrounds the grave with crushed granite filling the grave. The headstone is of granite and engraved.
Looking for some guidance on citing certain items in an unindexed and unnumbered probate file from 1872 Catawba County, North Carolina found on FamilySearch. Searched the content here and found reference to EE 10.33. From that I have come up with the following for citations to those items:
I though I had an understanding on citations until I found some images that are not indexed on ancestry. I did some reading in the book evidence explained but I think I am overthinking this and just confused myself.
The information is found on ancestry, but is not indexed. I used the following citation but I think I completely missed the mark on this one. The information I retrieved from the image was the appointment of an admin. of the estate of Jonathan Ratcliff.
Just when I thought I had a handle on citing Ancestry's military records, I start doubting...
I find a record for New York Guard service and write the citations in two ways. The first emphasizing the image and the second the database. I know I don't have to write them both ways but am always trying to understand the difference.
How would I go about citing a personal memoir that is held at a state historical society and copies are among the family including myself?. I decided to make citing easier so I want to use the historical society version since I have used information from both my copy and the society's, my reasoning being if someone outside the family wanted to get a copy they know what archive to go to. I feel like the closest format would be using the example archived material as shown in 3.14 using the author as lead or should I just use a book citation format without having a publisher listed?.
I was trying to find a good example in evidence explained to follow and am not sure I made the best citation. This is for an original record in loose paper files in the Baltimore City Archives. Records are sorted into record groups, sections etc. Documents are in numbered document order which do not necessarily fall by date just more of a random assortment with each numbered and usually grouped in a year or something similar. Any thoughts or better models would be appreciated.
While reading the chapter 14.22 on how to cite articles found online, I was left wondering since I didn't understand if you had to or not, if its necessary to cite where a collection comes from that's found on sites like newspapers.com.
Should I remove the abbreviations of p. and pp. from my citations?
Hello braintrust!
I would love your thoughts on this conundrum:
I want to source a digital image of a page from an 18th century church register, which is presently stored in a vault in Philadelphia at the Presbyterian Historical Society. (The church however is in New York and remains active to present day.)
The page I wish to source is now imaged on (and probably by) Ancestry, in a collection they labeled Presbyterian Church Records, 1701-1970. This collection includes churches from all over the place, as one might imagine.
