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:
* 6 Things You Need to Know About the AncestryDNA Ethnicity Update by Kerry Scott on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.
* The Oregon Archives Crawl Was a Blast! by Janice Sellers on the Ancestral Discoveries blog.
