Best of the Genea-Blogs - 4 to 10 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:

Thanks for your "Best of". It often leads me to posts I would not have seen otherwise.

Due to my specific business niche, I always love to write on custom leather jacket. Because I have successfully run many blogs related to leather and things created from it. So I always have interest in clothing category.
