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:
* Trouble and Missed Flight Leads to Serendipity in Seattle and Serendipity - the Plot Thickens by Geoff Rasmussen on the Legacy News blog. Geoff finds data on his smart phone for the mystery son-in-law of Marsden Brown.
* BSO: Brad Lyon's Exploring Family Trees (Beta) by Linda Stufflebean on the Empty Branches on the Family Tree blog. Linda had a great time exploring this new genealogy software. Looks interesting!
* Amazing Story: Man Survives Iron Bar Blasted through His Head! by Tony Pettinato on the GenealogyBank Blog. Indeed amazing.

* How to Find Your Ancestor by Researching Other People by Amy Johnson Crow on the Amy Johnson Crow blog. Amy describes several ways to solve research problems.
