First off I want to say thank you for the GREAT book, and the time/effort invested in not only it, but this forum. From the day I started on family history research I've paid attention to citing my sources, and now after a couple of years I'm enjoying taking to the next level.
Dear Editor,
I can't to wrap my head around subsequent footnotes. Is there any logic to when you cite the record group and repository in subsequent footnotes or is it just a matter of personal preference?
For example, in the Quickcheck model for Maps at the National Archives (EEv3, p. 543), the subsequent note cites RG 77, NA-College Park.
But the subsequent note Quickcheck model for State-level Land-Grant register (EEv3 p. 490) only cites the document and omits the series, record group and repository.
OK, I promise I have some easier ones I am not posting about!!! I feel odd posting a second topic so soon after my first but...I will anyway.
Church records...I am dealing with English Parish Register Transcripts (aka Bishop's Transcripts) [7.38] with an online database with images [7.18] and original files that are now at an off-site archive [7.12] on top of the original records being files instead of a book/volume.
I have come up with:
I am working on ICAPGen certification and I am using Legacy 8 Delux.
this is my citation
1910 U.S. census, Sangamon, Illinois, population schedule, Gardner Township, enumeration district (ED) 169, sheet 6A, p. 169, dwelling 99, family 100, Andrew Minder household; digital images, FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org : accessed 13 Nov 2015); citing National Archives andRecords Administration microfilm T624, roll 324. I have be advised by one of the Mentors that using the world citing should not be used. Yes use or Not.

1. Many of the memorial pages at Find A Grave have copies of recent obituaires. Am I correct that such copies are copyright infringements (assuming that the creators of the pages didn't obtain permission)?
I'm curious about EE 2.46, which states full citations are to be used on every page of a research report. Does this mean it is not appropriate to use subsequent citation practices, or state and county abbreviations in repeated census citations for these?
Hello! I am a brand new EE3 owner...had it about a week. Read Ch. 1-2 and will do so again but decided to have a look at a source I was currently using...the 1841 England Census via FindMyPast. And to be clear, I view the actual digital images, I do not use the provided "transcription."
The following is the draft of what I came up with in studying Ch. 6 and applying it to what I was using:
"Find a Grave", database, Find a Grave (http://www.findagrave.com : accessed 11 Octr 2015), memorial page for Bertha M Plunkett Minder (1877-1937), Find A Grave Memorial no. 22720566; citing Salisbury Cemetery, Salisbury, Sangamon, Illinois, USA; the accompanying photographs by Gary L Otten; created originally and maintained by Marge, and are materially informative, but do not provide a legible image of the inscribed data.
Shoud I say no tombstone has be set?
At first it was unclear to me after multiple scans of EE (2015 edition) how to cite a hospital issued birth certificate. (BC) For example I have my own BC from a hospital issued many years ago ... a printed form with blanks for data, all handwritten about my birth date, time of birth, parents name (although just Mr & Mrs. MY DAD'S NAME) ... with signatures by the hospital administrator, attending physician, and one other unidentified signature, as well as a foil (bronze/gold colored) leaf stamped symbol for the hospital 'certification'.
