Best of the Genea-Blogs - 27 October to 2 November 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:

*   7 Traits That Make A Good Genealogist by Alona Tester on LoneTester HQ.

*  Witch and Warlock?? -- How a Genealogy Journal Article Led to an Accused Witchy Woman and Her Warlock Husband Hiding in My Genealogy (October 28, 2019) by John D. Tew on Filiopietism Prism.

*  Free e-Book and Quicksheets to Help You Become a Master Newspaper Researcher by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

*  Vertical Files in the Archives – A Valuable Genealogy Resource by Lisa Lisson on Are You My Cousin?
