Best of the Genea-Blogs - 22 to 28 April 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:


*  DNA Testing: Balancing Value and Privacy by Thomas MacEntee on the DNA Bargain$ blog.

One, Two, Three ... Many by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Our Ancestors Hoped For a Better Life by Diann Iamarino on the Fortify Your Family Tree blog.
