Best of the Genea-Blogs - 10 to 16 December 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:

*  Challenging Modern Records by Christopher C. Child on the Vita Brevis blog.

*   Literacy and Our Ancestors by Linda Stufflebean on the Empty Branches on the Family Tree blog.

*  Doing the DNA Happy Dance by George G. Morgan on The In-Depth Genealogist blog.

*  The Rules of Guardianship by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

*  Making the Case:  Proof Argument for Parentage of Lavina (Spencer) Bursley by Lauren Rogers on the GeneJourneys blog.

*  The Archive Lady: DNA and Paper Records, Finding the Rest of the Story by Melissa Barker on the Abundant Genealogy blog.
