Best of the Genea-Blogs - 23 to 29 October 2016

Hundreds 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:


*  Top 5 Online Genealogy Education Platforms by Jenny Lanctot on the Are My Roots Showing? blog.  Jenny lists her faves.

*  i4GG Was a Great Conference by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.  Kitty reviews this Genetic Genealogy conference from last weekend.

*  San Diego Genealogy Day 2016 by J. Paul Hawthorne on the GeneaSpy blog.  Paul reviews this local event and shares lots of photographs.

*  Nine Kinds of Ancestor Death Records You Should Look For by Diane Haddad on The Genealogy Insider blog.  Only nine?

*  Working With a Strategy by Diane Boumenot on the One Rhode Island Family blog.  Diane defines a research strategy after laying out the problem.

*  Ancestry.com Releases We're Related App by the writer of The Ancestry Insider blog.  This is them ost comprehensive review of the app I've seen.

*  i4GG 2016 International Genetic Genealogy Conference by J. Paul Hawthorne on the GeneaSpy blog.  Paul reviews this international event and shares lots of photographs.
