Best of the Genea-Blogs - 6 to 12 August 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:


*  The Day My Ancestors (and Chocolate) Tried to Kill Me by Roberta Estes on the DNAeXplained -- Genetic Genealogy blog.  Great research story, scary otherwise.

*  The Truth Will Out by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.  Yep!

*  MyHeritage Buys Millennia by Tamura Jones on the Modern Software Experience website.  Interesting analysis.

*  Genealogical Flat-Lining by Pat Richley-Erickson on Myrt's Musings blog.  Me too...

*  The Archive Lady: Preserving Piles of Postcards by Melissa Barker on Thomas MacEntee's Abundant Genealogy blog.  Enlightening.

*  An Extreme Example of the Same Name = Same Person Problem -- Part One by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.  Heh.

*  Unlock the Past Roadshow: Brisbane Part 1; Day 2 by Pauleen Cass on the Family History Across the Seas blog.  Interesting.

*  Near the End of the Journey? by Diane Weintraub on the Nuts From the Family Tree blog.  Contemplative.

*  Family Tree Scrabble Board by Heather Wilkinson Rojo on the Nutfield Genealogy blog.  Good idea!

*  What's New at RootsTech 2018 on the RootsTech blog.  Looking forward to it.

*  A Genealogy Vacation by Lisa Gorrell on the My Trails Into the Past blog.  Fun!
