Best of the Genea-Blogs - 1 to 7 July 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:

*  Gettysburg Day 1 & My William Henry Phillips by Pat Richley-Erickson on the Myrt's Musings blog.

*  The Confusing Maze of Genealogy Mixups in Names by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on the Olive Tree Genealogy Blog.

*  UNUSUAL ANCESTOR NAMES ~ How Many Are in Your Family Tree? Where Did They Originate? by Diane Gould Hall on the Michigan Family Trails blog.

*  Photos of the Revolutionary War Generation by Maureen Taylor on the Family Tree blog.

*  Are these new developments for the FamilySearch.org Family Tree? by James Tanner on the Rejoice, and be exceeding glad ... blog.

*  Online Sources Are Not Bad ... by Michael John Neill on the Genealogy Tip of the Day blog.
