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:
* Work in Sprints to Strengthen Your Family Tree by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* Check out the new Custom Maps on Google Maps tool by Randy Majors on randymajors.com.
* US Copyright Bill Threatens Genealogists’ Use of Images by Keith Riggle on GenealogyTools.com.

* Genealogy and the Internet by Ryan Ross on Once Removed.
