Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 27 August to 2 September 2017

Dozens 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:


*  3 Methods for Organizing Your Genealogy by Devon Noel Lee on the Family History Fanatics blog.

*  Why Newspapers Can Help Fill In the Blanks by Jacqi Stevens on the A Family Tapestry blog.

*  A Touch of MyTreeitis by Nancy Messier on the My Ancestors and Me blog.

*  Preserving Genealogy Records by Preparing for a Disaster by Melissa Barker on the A Genealogist in the Archives blog.

*  Finding U.S. Land Records by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.

*  Research Like a Pro, Part 5: Where Did You Look and What Did You Find? by Diana Elder on the Family Locket blog.

*  The Genealogist's Back to School Plan by Amie Bowser Tennant on The Genealogy Reporter blog.

*  Just Ask A Friend by Mary Kircher Roddy on the Searching For Stories blog.

*  How to order a notary record from the Quebec Archives after finding it in an index on Ancestry by Gail Dever on the Genealogy a la Carte blog.

*  Land Deeds -- A Genealogy Gold Mine by Charlie Purvis on the Carolina Family Roots blog.
