Best of the Genea-Blogs - 13 to 19 May 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:


* How Long Does It Take To Build a Family Tree? by Brenda on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  Let's Make FamilySearch's Family Tree Better for Everyone by Michelle Lewis on the Legacy News blog.
