Citation Issues

I wrote to the Massachusets secritarty of state and they provided a  "copy of record of death" for someone who died in 1850.  Given how I understand records work from that erra, I think they consulted the registry and filled out the certificate.  They provided the year, volume, page and item number for the record.  I'm just not sure what model to use.  It's an official document with seal, so I'm not sure if I should cite it as a certificate or as a register model.

Thanks for your help!

I have crafted a citation for a land record archived at the Maryland State Archives online land records database. The citation is based on EE 3.16 Digital Archive Records, Online Databases with Images.

I have found two different online content providers of digital images of the same newspaper (neither one being an online archive by that newspaper).  Based on the example in EE (3rd), #14.22, at the bottom of page 808, it appears to me that it's appropriate or okay for me to have a single source list entry, referring just to the newspaper, with the online websites simply showing up in the various reference notes.  Is that correct?  Thanks.

I'm attempting to cite a newspaper clipping that was uploaded as an image to an Ancestry family tree. I've tried to combine the citation for a newspaper clipping (EE 3.36) with some of the good ideas I've seen on other threads on these forums about citing Ancestry family trees (https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/re-citation-ancestry-family-trees-actually-i-think-theyre-unproven ; https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/ancestrycom-public-member-photographs), to come up with the following:

Dear Editor,

My friend and fellow genealogist and I are pondering the lack of parentheses around part of the location/jurisdiction in most cases in EE, as opposed to their use in 2.31 and 7.12, for example. Here are reference notes from 2.31 and 7.12:

2.31

1. Christian County (Kentucky), 1799 Tax Book, List 2; Kentucky State Historical Society, Frankfurt; FHL microfilm 7,926.

and

7.12

2. St. Mary’s Church (New Orleans, Louisiana), Marriage Book 3, p. 91, Guérin-Mailloux; Archives of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Hello,

I have digitally created a "collage" of a number of documents and photographs. I am trying to write a citation for the image. This is what I have come up with. Any nits would be appreciated. My plan is to include all the information below in the discription field on an Ancestry tree.

Thank you,

Dear EE,

I'm working on a citation for information I am using from the Kindle copy of the 50th Anniversary Edition book Genealogy Standards by the BCG. The copyright and publisher information at location 3 reads as follows:

Dear EE,

I searched for this topic on the site, yet couldn't find it.

I am using a Kindle book as a source, but it has no page numbers, only locations. Would it be "safe" to use the location of my reference in my citation, perhaps specifying that it is a location, such as "location 253" (shortened to "loc. 253" in subsequent short notes) with all else for electronic book citation remaining equal? Clearly, I can't use a page number.

Thoughts and input appreciated.

So, reading over the QuickLesson 25: ARKs, PALs, Paths & Waypoints (Citing Online Providers of Digital Images), I got a little bit confused on when to layer a citation.   Two of the examples are:

Dear Editor,

I have a couple of questions about my citations and, in particular, my questions will pertain to the “Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968” collection on Ancestry. Apologies for the length of the post! :)

A little background first …
