Best of the Genea-Blogs - 31 December 2017 to 6 January 2018

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:


2017 - The Year of DNA by Roberta Estes on the DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy blog.

*  DNA – What, when, how, why – FAQs for beginners by Donna Rutherford on the Donna Rutherford blog.
