Best of the Genea-Blogs - 3 to 9 May 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:

Oh, Randy, somehow Mother's Day caught me up in non-genealogy activities, and I hadn't noticed you included me in your lineup yesterday. Thank you so much. Hope you and Linda had a pleasant day with this very different Mother's Day.
