I just received a marriage certificate from Ireland, which I requested online from the General Record Office, but am a bit at a loss on how to cite the document. It is a certificate which includes a copy of the original document. I received a paper copy but a scanned image is attached.
There are basically 2 layers (I think)
I.
I have a blank copy of a Warranty Deed (a deed which conveys real estate from the current owner to the new owner upon completion of the property sale), which was provided to me at the closing of a real estate transaction. The original Warranty Deed was signed by all parties, and then send to the County for recording, but I was given a photocopy of that deed before we all executed it, for my records. I'm having trouble finding a good way to create a citation for this photocopy of the Warranty Deed that was given directly to me by the Title Company closer.
Been a few months since I last looked in. Been working with standard census citations mostly but now I have a different record for which I have a question.
I have an image (from microfilm) of a "marriage allegation." It is held in the York Diocesan Archive at the Borthwick Institute, York, England. I contacted them for a copy after finding reference via the "Yorkshire, Archbishop of York Marriage Licenses Index, 1613-1839" database at findmypast.com. However, it is not really a license but is an allegation.
I'm working with an online image database. I've already created a layered long-form reference note for one particular page from a digitized bound volume--original layer, repository, digital layer--now I need to cite a different page of the same volume. Do I need to create a new long-form reference note every time I cite a new page? Is the answer the same or different for citations of searchable databases vs. a browsable database that requires waypoints?
If I am citing a microfilm of a newspaper, which microfilm is held at a library, should I put a semicolon between the microfilm name/box label and the library? Here is my citation. Should there be a semicolon before "Greenfield Public Library"? Note, the original newspapers are not at the library (the library did not know their whereabouts).
A trivial question perhaps but cannot find the specific answer in EE. Thank you.
Hi,
In several endnotes, I would like to include commentaries for example, consider the following:
S. B. Nelson, Nelson's Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Fayette County Pennsylvania, (Uniontown, PA: S. B. Nelson Publisher, 1900), digital version from print, page 358. Google Books. (http://google.books.com : May 2011).
A public record, such as a license, for the ferry was not found, but it is left to his son in the will in 1793.
Hi all!
I asked about two years ago of proper citing Church Register Book which was transfered to Local Archives in Western Serbia and then microfilmed at Serbian National Archives in Belgrade. Microfilm arrived back in Local Archives where they made digital images of those microfilmed Books. Those images are stored on DVD-ROM's and in that way are easily reaachable for researchers inside Archives.
EE Editor made clear to me, and hope all with similar issue, that I should use this citatio as my first Reference Note,
I have a question about citing a chapter in EE. We were provided images of the first page of the chapter, the title page (listing copyright date of 2007), and the table of contents page. I know we are supposed to cite what we see. The title page does not say anything about being the second edition. Since I own all of the editions I know that this was the second edition, as it is stated on the cover. Should the edition be included in the footnote or not? I included it, but I'm in the minority.
I recently received an email containing a photocopy of a South Carolina census record that was found in a manuscript housed at a local archive. I'm not sure if I should use the EE citation method for e-mails, use the manuscript it was found in, or both?
Can someone please clarify?
Thank you.
I'm scratching my head whether to cite the name of a newspaper as printed on its masthead, or use the name listed in the publishing information in the newspaper.
I used the name of the newspaper as listed in its publishing information (Section A, Page 2-A, column 1) to create this citation:
"Antiques," Omaha (Nebraska) World-Herald, 30 Sep 1973, Metropolitan Edition, section D (pt. 1), page 3, column 6, auction sale, Alden A. Zastera and Roma Zastera; image copy, GenealogyBank (http://www.genealogybank.com : viewed 20 Feb 2015).
