Best of the Genea-Blogs - 4 to 10 November 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:


*  13 Secrets to Getting Replies from DNA Cousin Matches by Kerry Scott on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  How Do I Get My Kids Interested in Genealogy? by Devon Noel Lee on the Family History Fanatics blog.

MyHeritage LIVE Conference Day 2 – The Science Behind DNA Matching by Roberta Estes on the DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy blog.

*  MyHeritage LIVE 2018 Conference in Oslo, Norway was a Success! by Dick Eastman on Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter blog.

*  Tuesday’s Tip: Didn’t find that Record in the Newspaper? Here’s How to Dig a Little Deeper by Diane Gould Hall on the Michigan Family Trails blog.
