Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 23 to 29 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:

* Research Spotlight: Colonial New Jersey Family History Resources by Michelle Chubenko on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  Becoming a Certified Genealogist by Lisa S. Gorrell on the My Trails to the Past blog.

*  Ask the Experts: An Interview! by Natalie Pithers on the Genealogy Stories blog.

*  Five Dollars, a Snickers, and a Bottle of Pop by Michael John Neill on the Rootdig blog.

*  Year in Review:  2018 by Amanda on the Geni Blog.
