My criteria for "Best of ..." are pretty simple - I pick posts that advance knowledge about genealogy and family history, address current genealogy issues, provide personal family history, are funny or are poignant. I don't list posts destined for daily blog prompts or meme submissions (but I do include summaries of them), or my own posts.
Here are my picks for great reads from the genealogy blogs for this past week:
* "Just a Farmer" by Michael John Neill on the Rootdig.com blog. Amen!!
* I brought hidden emails to light, a light that shines on new connections by Becky Jamison on the Grave and Glory blog. Becky found some interesting emails on her computer, visited the local cemetery and found the subject of an email, a Civil War soldier, on Memorial Day!
* Why Am I Watching Roots? by True Lewis on the Notes to Myself blog. Excellent reasons.
* The Big Picture: Using Mind Mapping to Organize Research Ideas by Diane Haddad on the Genealogy Insider blog. Are you mind-mapping?
* Where is My Peach Pie? by Michelle Ganus Taggart on A Southern Sleuth blog. Michelle has a story for us.
* The Biggest Mistake in Reading Old Handwriting – and How to Avoid It by Amy Johnson Crow on the Amy Johnson Crow blog. Amy nails this...
* Making Gift Books From Blog Posts by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on the Olive Tree Genealogy Blog. Lorine is really good at this.
* Why Create a Family Tree Online? 5 Good Reasons by Natalie L. on the Crestleaf blog. I agree.
* Ancestry Refines New Ancestor Discoveries (NADs) by Roberta J. Estes on the DNA-eXplained - Genetic Genealogy blog. Roberta describes the latest AncestryDNA updaqte.
