Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 1 to 7 December 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:

*  Use Social History in Genealogy Research – Telling Your Ancestors’ Stories by Lisa Lisson on Are You My Cousin?

*  Genetic Affairs Reconstructs Trees from Genetic Clusters – Even Without Your Tree or Common Ancestors by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

*  Are Your DNA Matches Failing You?  by Diahan Southard on Your DNA Guide.
