Citation Issues

State issued driver's license, artifact?

I've gone round and round with this, had one post all typed up and then decided I figured it out and deleted it, but then decided I had no clue. So here I am again.

My dad's driver's license, the actual one he carried in his wallet. It gives his dob (and so far I've not gotten my hands on a birth certficate) and address, proves residence, etc. Is it considered an Artifact?

I've searched this forum for any mention of driver's licenses, no luck.

I did look at state records, Misc. Licenses, 9.19, but that doesn't seem to apply as they reference a record group.

Railroad Retirement Board file

I just received my grandfather's file from NARA Atlanta in an email. I have Evidence Explained, second edition and I am a bit confused with the QuickCheck Model. Would this be my citation for the file?

James John McCarry pension file, SS no. 716-09-2211, 1954; records of the Railroad Retirement Board, 1934-, National Archives Record Group 184; RRB-Congressional Inquiry Section, Chicago, Illinois.

Local (County) v. State records for Wisconsin?

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.

Citing record group and repository in subsequent note

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. 

another layed question - church records

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:

cite NARA or not

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.

1841 England Census and "the art" of working with my program

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:
