Best of the Genea-Blogs - 18 to 24 June 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 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:


*  Common Obstacles Found in British Records and How to Overcome Them by Kate Eakman on the Findmypast Blog.

*  The 3-D Super Powers of Eastern European Genealogists by Lisa Alzo on the Legacy News blog.

*  Museums Have Archives Too! by Melissa Barker on the A Genealogist in the Archives blog.

Randy, Thank you for including my tribute to Ruth Maness. She was such a giving, talented lady who has helped so many genealogists. It just won't be the same going to the Family History Library.

Hi Randy, Thanks for including my story on Allen County Public Library in this week's "Best". I am retiring shortly, and hope to be more active in the blog-world.
