Best of the Genea-Blogs - 11 to 17 June 2017

Hundreds of genealogy and family history bloggers write thousands of posts every week about their research, their families, and their interests. I appreciate each one of them and their efforts.


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:


*  Relive the Summer of Genealogy Love by Elizabeth O'Neal on the My Descendant's Ancestors blog.

*  Carrying on a Conversation With the World by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.

*  Word for Word: Document Transcribing Technology by Thomas MacEntee on the Abundant Genealogy blog.

*  Transcriptions and Originals by Hilary Gadsby on the Worldwide Genealogy ~ A Genealogical Collaboration blog.

*  Intermediate Guide to Tracing English Genealogy Research by Kate on the Legacy Tree Genealogy blog.

*  Tips For Saving the Life of a Photo by Maureen Taylor on the Maureen Taylor blog.

*  Grandmother's Wedding Ring by Midge Frazel on the Highly Caffeinated Genealogist blog.

*  About Yesterday's Rant... by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry blog.

*  Family Tree DNA: My Review by Heather Collins on the Young & Savvy Genealogists blog.

*  Ephemeral Migrants and Wisconsin Vital Records Duplicates by Harold Henderson on the Midwestern Microhistory: A Genealogy Blog.

*  DNA Testing for Adoptees: Searching for Biological Roots by Diahan Southard on  Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems blog.
