Citation Issues

I'm still fairly new to this. One thing that I have been doing is including the information I am citing as part of the citation. I'm not really sure if that's needed. For example, I used a birth certificate for a baby as a citation that the father has the occupation of bread salesman in 1922. So after I put the information for the birth certificate, I followed it up with

, JB Harris: occupation: bread salesman; [the information about finding it on FamilySearch]

Could you please verify for me the difference between QuickCheck Model Digital Images Federal Census (U.S.) on page 237 and QuickCheck Model Microfilm: Population Schedules 1880-1940 on page 248 of the 3rd. edition of Evidence Explained. It seems that on page 237 Ancestry copied the image from microfilm held by NARA, hence the "citing NARA ... , roll 187." and the reference to Ancestry's website. The only difference I see between this citation and the one on page 248 is that the word citing is not used and there is no reference to a website.

Hello, 

I am struggling with the citation for a World War I Troop Transport Passenger List.  I am not certain whether to use 11.16 for Passenger Lists: Online Derivatives or something similar to a military muster roll 11.38.

My sample is below: 

I'm trying to cite electoral rolls for Australia, which are on Ancestry. Some of them have a cover page so intend to cite the image first. I began to wonder if these were published or not. What I found from the National Library of Australia is that it appears that they were printed and available for public inspection to challenge eligibilty of other voters, but not with the intent to sell. (not sure if that meets the criteria for publication or not)

Hello everyone, first time poster. I have a Word Document that my mom sent me. It just has random facts about her aunt on it. Some of it is just information "she knows" or was told by my grandma, and some of it is information she has collected over the years. Nothing sourced in any way. She doesn't know where the information specifically comes from.

She is going to send me similar documents for other family members, so I want to create a template I can use and just swap out the correct info.

I crafted a citation for a college yearbook with no difficulty (citing it as a book), but I realized that what I am actually referencing in my writing pertains only to a single copy of that yearbook as I am quoting an autograph written into the yearbook and not the yearbook content itself. This particular yearbook is part of an archive of my in-laws papers and memorabilia. I'm thinking now that this completely changes the citation. I'm thinking now that this should be cited as an artifact from their private collection. Am I on the right path?

My copy of EE gives advice on citing an online clip of a prior radio broadcast (p.790), but I have need to cite an actual broadcast that was aired on a specific day of a national radio network (i.e. not a copy or excerpt). The presenters, clip identification, and name of the show are fairly obvious, but I was a little confused about where to put the date it was aired. If it was a print publication then I would be putting the publication details in parentheses, but the example on p.790 puts the date after the details of the clip/show/segment.

I am struggling with citations for my many Irish workhouse admission and discharge records. The registry books were originally created by the Dublin Poor Law Union (North or South), are held at the National Archives of Ireland, and Findmypast has digitized, indexed, and published images of the registry books. Each record on Findmypast contains both an image and a transcription of the original material. The image contains basic information for the individual, along with admission and discharge date.

Dear Editor;

1) When citing a newspaper article picked up from a wire-service, is the wire-service (e.g. Canadian Press or "CP") considered to be the "Author" for the purposes of citing the associated article per the QuickCheck Model for Newspaper Articles, Online Archives?

2) When one sees an article beginning with two key headings, is the second considered part of the "Title" for the purpose of the previously noted QuickCheck Model? If so; what punctuation is used to separate the two? An example is, "

Dear editor;

As my current Canadian military research is now focussing on the details surrounding individuals and their locale, I'm running into some documents that are a bit of a challenge to cite.

It is for an online PDF of a self-published book that resides in the archives of the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa.

Had I visited the archives and consulted the physical book, I believe the citation would look something like:
