Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 16 to 22 February 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 If It IS My Circus? by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

*   Avoid This Critical Mistake in Your Research by Lisa Lisson on Are You My Cousin?

Finding Living People: Here's How I do It by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

Pitfalls Using Shared Matches or ICW Lists by Jennifer Dondero on The Occasional Genealogist.
