Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 22 to 28 September 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:

Thanks for mentioning my blog post about the new information on the Pilgrims revealed in Caleb Johnson's new book! It's been fun seeing it quoted in local New England newspaper articles this week, too!
