Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 23 to 29 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:


*  Planning for Genealogy Retirement - Video Recap by Devon Noel Lee on the Family History Fanatics blog.

Sources by Marcia Philbrick on the Heartland Genealogy blog.

*  School Records: An “Out-of-the-Box” Family History Resource by Lori on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  It’s time to stop giving attention to “Ethnicity” and genetic admixture by the author of the An American Genealogy blog.

This Genealogy Policy Takes the Guesswork Out of Names by DiAnn Iamarino on the Fortify Your Family Tree blog.

Some Progress in FindAGrave Image Appropriation by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Be Like Laura – A Guest Post By Jenny Hawran on the GeneabloggersTRIBE blog.

Successful NEHGS Event Nets New Members, Entertains, and Informs by Chris Pattillo on the California Genealogical Society & Library blog.

Books, Ownership, and Copyright by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.

Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
