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:
* Clinching the Connection by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
* Genealogy Gold Part 2: Finding Family Histories Using FamilySearch and Facebook by Linda Yip on Past Presence.
* Why Use a Chromosome Browser by Diahan Southard on Your DNA Guide.
* 7 Genealogy Projects We All Need to Do by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* New GeneaGem: Genealogy Village by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* John E. Ellerbee, His Wives and the 1850 Census by Susan Ellerbee on Posting Family Roots.
