Best of the Genea-Blogs- 7 to 13 April 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:


Keys to Making Your Unknown Parentage Case a Success by Kerry Scott on the Legacy Tree Genealogists blog.

Your Ancestor in the 1890 Veteran Census Schedule by Melissa Finlay on the Boundless Genealogy blog.

DNA Spotlight:  The Shared cM Project by Marian Pierre-Louis on the Legacy News blog.

Thank you, as always, for this week's mention. Bockstruck's book is a true gem of American history. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.
