Here are my picks for great reads from the genealogy blogs for this past week:
* The "Literature Search" in the Internet Age by Michael Hait on the Planting the Seeds blog. Michael asks if this is still necessary. What do you think?
* Michael Hait's Perfect Genealogy Program by Louis Kessler on the Behold Genealogy blog. Louis parses Michael's April description of a perfect program, and defines if Louis's Behold! program has incorporated each feature.
* Ancestry's Mythical Admixture Percentages by Roberta J. Estes on the DNAeXplained-Genetic Genealogy blog. Roberta thinks that Ancestry's autosomal DNA test results are wrong, and shows us her own numbers.
* What Next for Ancestry.com? by Debbie Kennett on the Cruwys News blog. Debbie summarizes the DNA test and analysis offerings from Ancestry.com, and discusses the drawbacks of the Ancestry autosomal DNA test.
* IGI Q and A - Part 1 and Part 2 by the writer of The Ancestry Insider blog. Information from Robert Kehrer about the International Genealogical Index on FamilySearch.
* 8 Tips and a Tool for Self-Editing Your Family History Blog by Lynn Palermo on The Armchair Genealogist blog. What - I have to self-edit too? Who knew? I'm lucky just to remember to spell check them... Excellent ideas here!
* Fishing Expedition (AKA Cluster/Collateral Genealogy) - A Brick Wall Buster by Michele Simmons Lewis on the Ancestoring blog. Michele discusses why you should do this type of research, and provides an example of her own, to solve brick wall problem.
* Forensic Genealogy Institute - Day One, Day 2 and Day 3 by Cinnamon Collins on The (Mis)Adventures of a Genealogist blog. Cinnamon summarizes her days at this new institute - it sounds challenging and fascinating.
