Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 31 May to 6 June 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:


*  Where Are the Petersons? Considering Lack of Representation, by Paul Woodbury on Genealogenes.

*  Four Strategies I Used To Break Down Brick Walls by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.


The 23andMe Family Tree Built From DNA by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.

The Name's the Same by Jeff Record on Vita Brevis.

Some of the Perils of Online Databases - 2 by Wayne Shepheard on Discover Genealogy.

* A Major Update to "What Are the Odds?" by Leah Larkin on The DNA Geek.

*  How Your DNA Test Results Can Help Genetic Detectives Solve Cold Cases! by Thomas MacEntee on Genealogy Bargains.
