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


When Everything Fails at Once ... by Louis Kessler on Behold Genealogy.

*  When Life Gives You Lemons: Genealogy Activities for Coronavirus Quarantine by Rachel Popma on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

What the Future Will Know by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

Book Review -- The Family Tree Italian Genealogy Guide by Julie Tarr on Julie's Genealogy & History Hub.

Pauline Ilg: Brave and Courageous - Part 5 by Jen Rickards on Auntie Jen's Family Trees.
