Best of the Genea-Blogs - 6 to 12 January 2019

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:

*  How to Connect with Your Pilgrim Ancestors and Join the Mayflower Society by Kate on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

*  Sharing Scanned Family Documents and Photos Online: Pros and Cons by Laura Hedgecock on the Treasure Chest of Memories blog.

*  #FamilySecrets — Wife and Children Missing by Bethany Maddox on the Root Stalker Genealogy blog.

*  How to make the most of your AncestryDNA matches: Part 4 – How to quickly, and effectively, use GEDmatch by the writer of An American Genealogy blog.
