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:
* Relive the Summer of Genealogy Love by Elizabeth O'Neal on the My Descendant's Ancestors blog.
* Carrying on a Conversation With the World by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.
* Word for Word: Document Transcribing Technology by Thomas MacEntee on the Abundant Genealogy blog.
