Best of the Genea-Blogs - 22 to 28 October 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:

* What’s a CentiMorgan, Anyway? How DNA Tests for Family History Measure Genetic Relationships by Diahan Southard on Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems blog.

*  Check Out the New Obituaries! Page by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt blog.
