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 arepoignant. 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:
* Strategic Thinking: A Research Plan by Jill Morelli on the Genealogy Certification: My Personal Journal blog. Jill provides an excellent methodology for developing strategic research plans.
* LeVar Burton’s Keynote at RootsTech 2017 – From Kunta Kinte to Star Trek and The Power of Imagination by Roberta J. Estes on the DNAeXplained -- Genetic Genealogy blog. Roberta summarizes this stirring keynote at RootsTech 2017.
* What #RootsTech was Like for an #InnovatorShowdown Finalist by Louis Kessler on Louis Kessler's Behold Genealogy blog. A first-person, amazing, account of Louis's days at RootsTech.
* The Coaching Lab: Forensic Genealogy from Inquiry to Affidavit by Cari Taplin on Angela McGhie's Adventures in Genealogy Education blog. Cari describes this SLIG course.
* Are There Really Genealogy Brick Walls? by Michael John Neill on the Rootdig.com Blog. Michael discusses this issue and has suggestions.
* Get Your ROOKIE On by Pat Richley-Erickson on the DearMYRTLE Genealogy Blog. Pat and her panel try a new task - making a video with Adobe Spark.
* Feeding the Trees by Tony Proctor on the Parallax View blog. Tony discusses the current state of online family trees and his vision of a better system.
* What Makes a Great Genealogist? Perseverance? Creativity? Je Ne Sais Quoi? by Diane L. Richard on the Upfront With NGS blog. An interesting question. I think it's solving difficult research problems over a long period of time.
