Best of the Genea-Blogs - 26 August to 1 September 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:

*   Where to Find Genealogy Help on Facebook by Michele Lewis on the Legacy News blog.

*  Understanding Your AncestryDNA Matches by Gretchen on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  Shining a Light on the Darkness by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Analyzing Sources by Marcia Philbrook on the Heartland Genealogy blog.
