Best of the Genea-Blogs 8 to 14 April 2018

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:

*  The Missing Nun by Ellie on the Ellie's Ancestors blog.

*  A Story Told by Jeff Record on the Vita Brevis blog.

*  You Can Read Foreign Language Genealogy Records and Results! Hiring a Professional Genealogist by DiAnn Iamarino on the Fortify Your Family History blog.
