Best of the Genea-Blogs - 25 September to 1 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:


*  10 Things I Liked Enough to Share With You: Sept 26, 2016 by Elizabeth O'Neal on the Little Bytes of Life blog.  Thank you, Elizabeth!

*  Dick Eastman Is Wrong by John Grenham on the Irish Roots blog.  Well, maybe not.  Check out the link to Dick's slides too.

*  Facebook Genealogy by Dave Robison on the Old Bones Research of New England blog.  Dave explains how Facebook helps genealogy research.

*  Respect and Rights by Debbie Parker Wayne on Deb's Delvings in Genealogy blog.  Well said, Debbie.

*  10 Things I wished I Knew When I Started My Blog by Barbara Poole on the Life From the Roots blog.  Barbara has learned well.

*  Reaping What We Sow - Part II by Tony Proctor on the Parallax View blog.  Tony continues his article about genealogy methods, software and online resources.

*   8 Weeks to Better Rhode Island Genealogy Research – Week 8 – Everything Else by Diane Boumenot on the One Rhode Island Family blog.  Diane completes her survey of Rhode Island resources.

This was a difficult week for me with presentations to make and give, and the grandkids here this weekend.  I feel like I slacked off, but the great geneabloggers below didn't!

Many, many thanks for this mention Randy. I wish I remembered when you first gave me a nod on your "Best of..," but it was probably 6-7 yrs. ago, you think? Again, thanks.
