Citation Issues

I have been researching on Matricula and have found records from the various towns in Bavaria where my mother's family is from.

Some towns have several parishes, while some smaller towns, do not list a parish. 

For those with parishes, I crafted the citation below. I believe I have shown what I looked at, the diocese where it was found, and where I found it. Does this look correct?

Also, if I have a small town without the parish name, just the name of the town, do I note this in parenthesis?

I'm creating Family Tree Notebook pages for most of my ancestors and the documents and images I have related to them. Along with images (like the one attached), I want to include correct footnotes at the bottom of each page.

Here is my first official attempt at an EE citation! Her legal maiden name was Marion Meccariello. 

I am trying to determine how to properly cite this artifact which is in my possession.























Using EE8 Template 7, I get:

I am trying to add the digital layer on to a fairly complex citation generated by ORA.

The original from ORA:

The National Archives in Washington, DC; Washington, DC, USA; Consolidated Lists of Civil War Draft Registration Records (Provost Marshal General's Bureau; Consolidated Enrollment Lists, 1863-1865); Record Group: 110; Collection Name: Consolidated Enrollment Lists, 1863-1865 (Civil War Union Draft Records); NAI: 4213514; Archive Volume Number: 2 of 3

Seems to me to duplicate information needlessly. I have shortened it to:

Reclaim the records have published lots of collections on the Internet Archive (as well as other places). Those on the Internet Archive can be accessed via https://archive.org/search?query=Reclaim+the+Records.

I use Roots Magic for my main genealogy software and I'm trying to massage the citation template to cite a Patent Image I pulled from the BLM GLO website. Here is my citation:

Bureau of Land Management, "Land Patent Search," images, General Land Office Records (https://glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx : accessed online 6 August 2025), entry for state volume patent issued 1 December 1860 to Joseph Williams (Elmore County, Alabama) cash entry patent no 52594; Greenville Land Office, Alabama.

I am looking for guidance on citing AI responses to my prompts. I am creating mini-bios for my Find a Grave relatives that I manage.

Using ChatGPT, I enter the prompt “Please write a short biography from these facts.” I then copy and paste the timeline information from my online tree into ChatGPT. 

Here is my attempt at a source citation:

I've drafted the following citations for Italian vital records I received via e-mail, one from a State Archive and one from an individual that offers a Record Retrieval Service, and would appreciate EE's insight. For the first layer, I followed Template 12 (birth or death certificate) as a guide, followed by an access layer, and a final citing layer for the repository. Looking forward to feedback!

Hi,

I haven't been able to find any guidance in EE 4th edition regarding the typing of reference notes.  I can see in the models that they are to be indented, but I'd like to edit the indentations in my WORD template to indent them correctly.  How many spaces am I to indent the reference number and reference?  Can someone please explain how I would do that in WORD? 

Hi,

I'm trying to create a citation for a probate file that has been digitized and is available online on the New Zealand Archives website. I've been looking at Template 10 Online Image (No named database) and section 4.15 of EE 4th ed. (the Online Images: Emphasis of Document section), and I'm a bit unsure whether the archive details (such as record number, item code and series number) belong in Layer 1 (where I have placed them) or layer three, about the Archive itself.

Here is what I have created:
