"Best" Genea-Musings Posts of 2012

I wrote 970 posts during 2012, and it is a challenge to pick out the ten or twenty best from the list.  I'm going to ignore the daily meme posts of Amanuensis Monday, Tuesday's Tip, Wordless Wednesday, Treasure Chest Thursday, Follow Up Friday, Surname Saturday, Saturday Night Genealogy Fun, and Best of the Genea-Blogs, and try to pick them based on my subjective criteria of relevance to my research, and to the genealogy industry.
