Best of the Genea-Blogs - 5 to 11 March 2017

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 arepoignant. 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:


*  17 Years of Research Being Flushed Down the Toilet by the writer of the Ancestry Insider blog.

Thanks for mentioning my "Close Calls" blog post on your list this week. I've had readers tell me over one hundred stories about their ancestors' near disasters in the comments, by email and social media. It's been fun reading them all!
