Best of the Genea-Blogs - 25 November to 1 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:

*  Loops and Curves by Molly Rogers on the Vita Brevis blog.

*   A Powerful Challenge for Adoptees to Overcome by Dave Robison on the Old Bones Genealogy of New England blog.

*  Right Person, Right Place, Right Time: Documenting the Unknown in your DNA Test Results by Paul Woodbury on the Legacy Tree Genealogists   blog.

*  Pay Attention to Those Draft Dates & Ages When Researching Draft Registration Cards by Colleen Greene on the Colleen Greene blog.
