Dear Editor,
I have a manuscript fully cited and a source list, partially prepared. An issue I am struggling with is that I've cited many census records for several persons, many in different locations. Sometimes I used Ancestry, sometimes FamilySearch, sometimes I found them in a library. These span from 1790 through 1850.
Dear Editor,
The User Forum question Com or Not Com question:

reminded me that I have several Enhancement Requirements that I need to provide input to my genealogy database management program.
Hello!
I am attempting to cite my grandfather's record from the Canadian 1940 National Registration. I've tried searching this website and have spent all afternoon looking at various examples in Evidence Explained. Unfortunately, I'm not closer to determining the appopriate format for my citation.
Hi Editor,
It's been awhile since I posted a query.
I am going to 'presume' that you may not be familiar with the records for the citation assistance that I am seeking, but I am hopeful that you can maybe give me some guidelines.
My query relates to vital records that are available to purchase in Australia, in this case, in the state of New South Wales, from the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages.
I've had a hard time with this one. I have both church records and census records to cite from the Danish Archives online. Both are on the same website in different areas. For now, let’s just start with the church records.
It is my understanding that the use of ".com" may not be needed anymore when citing online website names such as Ancestry or FamilySearch (prior to using the web address in parentheses). For example:
Skamania County, Washington, Marriage Records, 1950, no. 19210, Glen C. Henley—Angelina Segota, 12 June 1950; image, “Washington, Marriage Records, 1854-2013,” Ancestry (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 11 June 2017).
Is this the new and correct use? Ancestry or Ancestry.com?
I have a county-level birth certificate for an infant born in May 1886 where the birth was not filed until January 1887. Which date should I use in the source citation, or is it best to use both?
Thanks!
Lesley
Dear Editor;
I have received an email from the Librarian/Archivist of a small local history museum. The email contains several first generation images of original Funeral Programs and Cards that are part of the archives of the local history museum. The Librarian/Archivist performed the digitization himself. To create the references, would one use the QuickCheck Model for "PRIVATE HOLDINGS: ARTIFACT" (p. 105) and show the Librarian/Archivist as the compiler? How would I account for seeing the image and not the original, or is that not important?
I could not find reference to this question in EE ....
Is it acceptable/accurate to cite a source, a census for example, without reference to an individual, then citing that source to more than one individual:
Source:
1900 U.S. census, Allen County, Kansas, population schedule, Moran City, digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 19 February 2105), citing National Archives microfilm publication T623, roll 469
Citations:
1. Winfield Samuel household, Enumeration District 0012, p. 1B (stamped), family no. 22, line 84.
The site MapofUS.org referenced the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection generally, so I am at a loss in how to cite information about county boundary changes.
Does anyone have a citation example where they use this source?
Section 12.63 does not really address this clearly for me.
