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:
* Gen-Fed: "What's Past is Prologue" and One Day at the National Archives? by Jill Morelli on the Genealogy Certificatyion: My Personal Journal blog.
* Family Tree Maker 2017 Released: A Review by Keith Riggle on the GenealogyTools.com blog.
