Best of the Genea-Blogs - 13 to 19 October 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:


*  Why Is It Not on The Map? How Learning History Aids Your Genealogy by Jim Beidler on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

DNA Painter Instructions and Resources by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

Dress Like a Pilgrim by Heather Wilkinson Rojo on Nutfield Genealogy.

Thanks for mentioning my "Dress Like a Pilgrim" blog post this week! It's a popular topic, and the link to this post has been shared almost fifty times on Facebook as everyone seems to be getting ready for the big commemoration next year for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower.
