Citation Issues

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

Hello EE,

I've found the forum responses and quick lessons very helpful supplements to EE3 and EE4 - thank you.

I have an imaged marriage record found at Ancestry.com.  I am following the templates 9 and 10 and section 11.5 in EE 4th edition.  I’d like some input on how much information is necessary to include.

Here’s the link to my document:

https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61677/records/239745?

I am using Polish church register images from digitized microfilm which is now available online.

The images are the second copy (transcription) of the parish register which was filled out by the parish priest and sent to the state as required by Napoleonic law.  The microfilm now resides at the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in L′viv.

In the 4th edition of EE (pp. 72-73) it talks about FamilySearch record sets that have been indexed, and those that haven't (though I have found some that haven't been indexed, but do have a collection title). But it appears there is another type ... or is it just one of these two?

Why does Evidence Explained (EE4: Complex Website Template 5, p. 121) choose to italicize website titles while Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS: 14.206, Notes and Bibliography) does not recommend italics for most citation?

Good morning! 

I am using FamilySearch's new AI text search like it's a new toy!  So I am citing the images directly rather than a database title.

I have a few questions about the following citation and would appreciate comments.

Marshall County, Tennessee, County Court Clerk Minutes, Vol. A, page 444, Thomas Ross appointed administrator of Samuel Hillis estate, 7 December 1840, imaged; FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/ : accessed 13 December 2024) > IGN 007642977 > Item 1 of 3 > image 231 of 234.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how one would cite to documents (for example: a complaint, a legal brief, a motion, etc.) for historical unpublished cases? In this particular instance, the case files are obtained from the Superior Court Clerk's Office

I have attached an example of the first page of a complaint.

The example cite I came up with per 8.19 is:

Many genealogy programs include a "relationship calculator". How would one cite the "relationship calculator" as the source for the stated relationship in a sentence such as: "John Doe was the uncle of William Smith."
