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


*  Comparing BMD indexes for England and Wales: Ancestry by Audrey Collins on The Family Recorder blog.


Digging Deeper in FamilySearch Records by Elizabeth O'Neal on the My Descendant's Ancestors blog.
