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


What Did Ancestors Say in 1950 U.S. Census? by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.

Irish Origins by Melanie McComb on Vita Brevis.

Becoming a Serious Source Collector by Ryan Ross on Once Removed.

*  The Archive Lady: Preserving Christmas and Other Greeting Cards by Melissa Barker on Abundant Genealogy.
