Best of the Genea-Blogs - 7 to 13 October 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:

*  Using Semi-Anonymous Genetic Data in Genealogical Conclusions by Blaine Bettinger on The Genetic Genealogist blog.

*  Knowing and Being Known: Genealogy, DNA and the Truth by Claudia C. Breland on The DNA Researcher Claudia C. Breland blog.

*  Finding Family Histories in the Archives by Melissa Barker on A Genealogist in the Archives blog.

*  Not All is On Find A Grave, See What Else You Can Find by Barbara Poole on the Life From the Roots blog.

*  Don’t Overlook the Online Ontario Land Records  by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on the Olive Tree Genealogy Blog.

*  Genealogical society members and directors should watch these videos from the 2018 North Texas Summit by Gail Dever on the Genealogy a la Carte blog.
