Best of the Genea-Blogs - 12 to 18 April 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:

*  Find Centuries of Ancestors in Germany's Village Genealogy Books! by Jim Beidler on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

*  Norwegian Genealogy Resources by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

*  When the Found Father Needs Help Understanding the DNA Results by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's blog.

*  Historical US Counties on Google Maps enhanced to match Census dates, adds townships by Randy Majors on randymajors.com Research Hub.
