Best of the Genea-Blogs - 24 to 30 September 2017

Dozens 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:

*  Ordering Vital Records From State Agencies by Brenda on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  A Family Court Dispute Found in Google Books by Patricia Greber on the My Genealogy Life blog.

*  Moving Forward at FamilySearch by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Solving Unknown Parentage Cases With DNA by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.

*  Finding Lurancy by Christopher C. Child on the Vita Brevis  blog.

*  How to Research on Ancestry.com For Free by Lynn Palermo on The Armchair Genealogist blog.

*  A Cautionary Tale From Reclaim the Records by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.
