Best of the Genea-Blogs - 21 to 27 May 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:


*  With All Due Respect by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Neat Ideas from the National Genealogical Society Conference by Lori Samuelson on the Genealogy at Heart blog.

*  Boots Made for Walking by Tony Proctor on the Parallax View blog.

*  UPDATE:  Geneabloggers.com Transition to Abundant Genealogy by Thomas MacEntee on the Geneabloggers blog.

*  Getting a Simple Text Pedigree From Ancestry.com by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.
