Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 5 to 11 January 2020

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's Coming to FamilySearch in 2020 by Briana Taylor on FamilySearch Blog.

*  How to Figure Out a DNA Match by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  Genealogy Progress Guaranteed by Ann Raymont on DNAsleuth.

*  Don't Forget the Unindexed Records on the FamilySearch Website by James Tanner on Rejoice, and be exceeding glad...
