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:
* Mindmapping Software for Writing and Family Storytelling by Laura Hedgecock on Treasure Chest of Memories.
* Genealogical Journals: Forgotten Resources by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
* An Early RootsTech Experience and the Results by James Tanner on Rejoice and be exceeding glad.
* Tying the Knot: Ancestral Marriage Records and Where You Might Find Them by Carolyn at Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* Genealogy Gems Book Club: Q & A with Genealogist Nathan Dylan Goodwin, Author of The Sterling Affair by Lisa Louise Cooke on Lisa Louise Cooke.
