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:
* A Daughter of the American Revolution by True Lewis on the NoTeS To MySeLf blog. True became a Daughter of the American Revolution with help from her genealogy friends.
* The Cousin Next Door: Using the FAN Club Principle by Christy Fillerup on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog. Christy describes the cluster and FAN Club genealogy concepts.
* 3 Things to Ask a Genealogy Librarian by Amy Johnson Crow on the Amy Johnson Crow blog. Excellent suggestions.
* How Many Cousins Share my 5th Great-Grandparents? by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog. Good question, and Kitty has some answers.
* Did You Hear About the Great New Features From GenealogyBank.com? by Barbara Poole on the Life From the Roots blog. Mo, I didn't. Thanks, Barbara!
* My Takeaway on Day #1 - Kentucky Trip with Sisters; Day #2: and Day #3 by Peggy Lauritzen on the Always Anxiously Engaged blog. Road trip, three sisters, genealogy, what could go wrong?
* No Right to Sharing by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog. A good and helpful post.
* Why Your Ancestry.com and Other Online Genealogy Searches Don't Work by Diane Haddad on the Genealogy Insider blog. Diane has an excellent check list and suggestions.
* A Year in Review, Part I by Michael Lacopo on the Hoosier Daddy blog. Sad, funny, scary, this is a recap of Michael's life from 2013 into 2015. I'm glad he's writing again.
