I need to cite an informational publication from the Mississippi Archives that has digital images online at FamilySearch. Here is the link. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-20904-11760-64?cc=1919687 <https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-20904-11760-64?cc=1919687&wc= MMYG-V5D:n215956377> &wc=MMYG-V5D:n215956377 I want to cite it as a broadside (EE 12.43) I am not quite sure what to do with the date. The info at the upper left states no date of publication but on the right it says "As of 10/27/2003" which appears to have either been added later or this is a 2003 typed copy of the original. Also, if I put the publisher as the Secretary of State (they are known to publish their own materials) can I add Jackson as the publisher location or should I leave the place of publication blank?

Elissa, My book was an orange book about 1 inch thick. It only took me six months to find it again. They had changed it at the library to a half inch thick black book. I learned why the man that made copies asked me if I wanted the title page.

Sara, My brother and I published my father's poetry this year. On the advice of a prolific genealogy author I went to McNaughton-Gunn. They have worked with me beautifully. This past summer we printed 30 soft covers, sort of as a first venture--they can quick-print in under 2 weeks, and the price was great. I did all the layout and sent them a pdf. It was absolutely a beautiful soft cover edition. The 4-color cover was perfect and the paper was nice. We are about to go to press with the hard cover edition which, as you describe, will have a 4-color dust jacket and a hard cover, smythe-sewn. (Thank you, Barbara Vines Little, for advising my on the smythe-sewn variety of binding.) I have several of the books that were published by the author that recommended McNaughton-Gunn, and they are very nice (they are just hardbacks, no dust jackets). You have a number of colors to choose from for the binding, and they will imprint the hardcover in silver or gold. We are doing 300 copies, and at that level their pricing is competitive. Not sure about smaller amounts. I would encourage your client to consider also doing a short run of soft covers to have on-hand (libraries pertinent to his history, etc). They are really nice and so amazingly reasonable. McNaughton-Gunn have also been great to work with. Informative, responsive, and helpful. McNaughton-Gunn http://www.bookprinters.com/ Of course, we don't have the hardback in hand yet--almost ready to send that version to press.

To amplify what Janis said, Chapter 16 of _Professional Genealogy_ is the one that the BU course, ProGen Study and others use to teach transcribing and abstracting skills. The chapter gives examples and gives points on certain characters. It does say that anything you introduce should be in square brackets otherwise transcribe what you see. My own habits depend on how the final will be presented. I may transcribe in a split screen line for line so that it is easy to compare. Then if the use makes more sense to run the lines together, I take out the line breaks.

In the date range 1916-1918, Pennsylvania birth records are kept at the state level. You will have to write to the Dept. of Health, Division of Vital Records, P.O. Box 1528, New Castle, PA 16103. Phone: (724) 656-3100. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/birth_certificates/ 14121 There is a form on their website that also shows who can and cannot request birth records. Good luck! Last year the Pennsylvania voted to make the older records' indexes available and they are online at http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/public_records/2068 6. Once you have the number you can request the record yourself for something like $4. The births are open for 1906 and 1907, the deaths from 1906 to 1962. -- Elissa Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL www.PowellGenealogy.com www.GRIPitt.org registration opens 7 Feb 2013 CG, Certified Genealogist, CGL, and Certified Genealogical Lecturer are Service Marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluations by the Board and the board name is a trademark registered in the US Patent and Trademark Office. > -----Original Message----- > From: On Behalf Of Diane Giannini > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2013 1:52 PM > > The date range for the birth records I need from Westmoreland County is 1916-1918.

Some years ago I had a 1683 English court record, as well as several wills from the same era, to transcribe. I also used a "split screen" (two monitors, actually) but further, I opened up the image in Photoshop, added a layer and on that layer I added blue lines where between the lines of text. Then, I put line numbers (including blank "lines) on both sides. The document was yellowish with the usual light gray (by now) ink. On the transcribed side, I used a three column table, again with numbers on the left and right columns, keeping each line from the document with its line, including all the inserts, cross-outs, and so on. I found it much easier to keep my eyes on track, especially when going back and forth in the document. Additionally, as I went, I used text colors in the transcription in addition to the square brackets, to focus on "problem words" as I found them. Amazing how many times what was unclear at the beginning of a document became clear by the time my eye saw it later in the text. I found the split screen and numbering method to be very effective, and still use it. It may take a little longer initially, but saves much time in the end. Especially after a few weeks going back from the transcription to the original document to check something or compare the original with later found documents. For maintaining the document in my database, I have four copies. The original, the original with lines, the transcription with lines, and the transcription with 17th century font and modern day flow, for the sake of current non-genealogist readers. Now, if someone will give me a good "thorn" to use in my fonts, I'd be forever grateful.
