Best of the Genea-Blogs - 2 to 8 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:


As We Write the Rules ... by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist blog.

* Comments on the Future of Online Trees by James Tanner on the Genealogy's Star blog.

Using Pre-1850 Records to Find an Ancestor's Children by Lisa Lisson on the Are You My Cousin? blog.
