Best of the Genea-Blogs - 30 June to 6 July 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:

*  Finding John Costello - A DNA Journey: The Fried Family, John's Family, Part 5; and Part 6, Conclusion by Amberly Beck on The Genealogy Girl.

*  “Did My Ancestor Serve in the American Revolutionary War?” Research Steps to Prove a Family Legend by the writer on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

*  Using the "DNA Match" Tree Tag by Ann Raymont on DNAsleuth.

*  ThruLines No Longer in Beta by History Chick on Genealogical Musings.

*  'Old Green' by Jeff Record on Vita Brevis.

*  Mitochondrial DNA: Part 4 – Techniques for Doubling Your Useful Matches by Roberta J. Estes on DNAeXplained -- Genetic Genealogy.

*  Finding a Birth Father by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on Olive Tree Genealogy Blog.

*  Transcribing Genealogy Records Correctly Helps Find New Clues by Amie Bowser Tennant on The Genealogy Reporter.

*  Why Genealogists Ought to Love Taxes by Sam Williams on Ancestral Anamnesis.

Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
