Best of the Genea-Blogs - 26 November to 2 December 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:


Parish Chest Records -- Genealogy Building Block by Linda Elliott on the Mad About Genealogy blog.

*  What will happen to your genealogical research when you die? by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.
