I'm struggling trying to arrange a citation for a transcription from a website that contains multiple transcriptions from different people.
Normally, I would expect something like "Article Title," transcribed by <Transcriber>... but I don't really recognize an article title to use for this source. I've come up with this citation:
I'm working on a citiation for a census subsitute in Ireland. As part of the old age pension system in Ireland in the early 20th century people were required to prove their age. Without adequate civil or church records, petitioners could request a transcript of their entry in the 1841 and 1851 censuses. The search forms are now available at the National Archives of Ireland's website. I wasn't sure which template to use, so I tried the Archived Documents: Digitized.
Here is what I have for the source entry:
Reference citing Church Books: Named Volume Held by Church (p. 311), would you use the name of the church as it is known today?
St. John-St. Matthew-Emanuel Lutheran Church (Brooklyn, New York), "Marriages, 1901–1905," p. 438, no. 19, Robert Burnside Ward and Mrs. Mary A. Peters, nee Kane (1904); parish rectory, Brooklyn.
Or, would you cite the original name as author and the contemporary name as the repository, even though they are the same physical location?
This is my first time asking a question, though I have followed other questions the past year. I paid for some research at the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center in Rock Island, Illinois. I received some wonderful image copies of newspaper articles/obituaries. I'm trying to now write citations for them.
Hello,
How would I cite the name of a Catholic sister, for example, Sister Helen Dingman, born Ann Dingman?
I would be interested to know how others have cited Griffiths Primary Valuation and Valuation Revision Books (Ireland) in Legacy. None of the available options listed in the Source Template Index on Legacy would appear to be what I need, but that might be because I don't understand many of the terms used in the lists?
The examples that you have provided for draft registration cards include in the reference notes something like "Local Draft Board 1." There are a lot of cards that don't say "Local Draft Board" or "Draft Board" on them. For example, the one of Irwin Skolly, at Ancestry, serial no. 9227, order no. 150, has Precinct, which is crossed out, and 17 E.D. - 8 H.D. written in, followed by City or County N.Y., and State N.Y.
Does a registration card mean a local draft board? If so, can we add those words to the reference note? Of should we not and simply go with the other information?
Editor, Greetings again!
I am struggling with a citation model for the Scotlandsplaces website. The databases on this website are various. I am using placenames A-Z for various farmsteads in the parish of Old Deer, Aberdeenshire. For example: Slampton farmstead. The citiation model I have created is:
National Archives of Scotland, " Ordinance Survey Name Books, 1865-1871," database, Scotlandplaces.gov.uk.(italics) (www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk: accessed 10 August 2015), entry for Slampton, parish of Old Deer, Aberdeenshire; citing OS1/1/68/139.
