EE,
More website citation issues for me. Below is a citation I wrote several months ago. I am fairly certain this is not quite correct. Should the article about farming in 19th century Ontario Canada be cited first? If so how might that one page article be titled? Below is my attempt at the citation. Could you please advise me?
My client has photocopies of her mother's will and her father's will. The father's will is in a blue folder provided by lawyers and reads
"Last will and testament of xxxxxxx
dated Stepmber 7, 1979
as modified by
Superior Court Judgment
Dated October 21, 1983"
Then at the bottom of the outside of the folder, the name and address of the law firm. Is this document enough to use as an original source of information (for names of his children), or do I need to find the probate record?

I have a newspaper report of a death in 1917. The person who died in the article did not die however his wife did. I am writing up a story about the article and I want to title it "The Reports Of My Death..." Not Just For the Famous. The partial quote "The reports of my death..." has been attributed to Mark Twain. In doing some digging to find the origin of the original quote I discovered that he is often misquoted.

With the recent introduction of 'images' on the IrishGenealogy.ie website, I am looking for some guidence for citing the image records available. These are 2 different citations I have come up with:
Some background/context: My great-granduncle was killed in action in WWI in 1918. However, his body was not recovered until 1927 when he and six other soldiers were discovered on the battlefield, where they had presumably been buried by the Germans. I figured, knowing the government, that this fascinating story probably generated some paperwork. I started by requesting his service record from the National Personnel Records Center.
How would one cite the following situation:
I have a photograph of a gravestone with tracing paper on it after a wax rubbing was made. Most of the stone is ledgible from the rubbing, but the month of the death date is still a little vague and its reading is a little subjective. (I think it says June, but an arguement could be made that it says Jan.) I have the following questions:
1) Would I cite this as a gravestone, a photograph, or an artifact?
I'm using a local county website to retrieve digital images of many documents (marriage, wills, etc.) pertaining to my family history. I'm not having an issue citing the actual images or where I found them. My question is this...on more than one occasion, the name is misspelled (sometimes mangled) in the index but then once I pull up the image of the original document, the name is spelled correctly. Basically, the index has transcription errors. What does this do to the citation? I'm not citing the index. I'm citing the original document with the correct spelling.
I have two issues forming a citation for the following book: https://archive.org/details/historyofhenryco00unse
