Best of the Genea-Blogs - 28 May to 4 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 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:


*  Geneabloggers.com: The End is Almost Near! and Announcing a New Initiative: GeneabloggersTRIBE.com by Thomas MacEntee on the Geneabloggers blog.

*  Find Undiscovered Treasures at Ancestry.com: Expert Tips by Sunny Morton on Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems blog.

Thanks for all these suggestions. I enjoy finding blogs I have not visited before.
