Thank you so much for your videos. Citing sources in family history has been complicated for me to understand. This explains everything in a simple way that most people can understand. I will follow your format in my research. You are a citaation life saver for me :)
Hi, I have a family line that I’m working but the surname keeps changing. Any tips? The most common spelling of the name in records is Little, but I also found Lytle, Lytte and even Lytlo. I have another line of the family with a surname that’s sometimes spelled Oberle, sometimes Oberly, Oberely, and even Ohurley. Could you please make a video on this? It world be really helpful. Thanks!
Certainly we could state that. I try to discern where I might be able to get another copy should I or another researcher ever need to when citing unlabeled documents. But if I cannot determine that, or if the record I have is the only copy of its kind (like an original letter or a family Bible), I cite just the personal collection.
I have recently found a unpublished manuscript. I know how to source the manuscript, but I am attempting to find and source the facts in the manuscript (in footnotes form) for submission to several society libraries. I am curious how you (personally) would go about this or if you would consider this a type of plagiarism? I took pictures of each page (over 800!) And want to show the original on the left side, a transcript on the right, with the sources footnotes below. What would you think of a project like this? Would you have any suggestions?
This sounds like an amazing project! Who created the manuscript and when? Those details would help determine if it is covered by copyright. This website gives a basic overview: www.lib.umn.edu/copyright/research
Why do so many genealogists, especially professional genealogists, mispronounce genealogy. it is JEAN-e-ology not JEN-e-ology. Jean as in blue jeans, not jen as in Jenny.
Melissa, I’m enjoying all your teaching on source citations. I believe you need to correct the Inquest number in this video (one two many “2s.”

For the Walker Humphrey military discharge/separation papers, could one state the collection is, "the personal papers of [your grandmother]"?
