Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 23 to 29 August 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:

*  Why I Do Genealogy: A Personal Manifesto by Daniel on The Genealogy Corner.

* What Standing in Line for (The Best!) Cupcake Ever Taught Me About Genealogy Research by Lisa Lisson on Are You My Cousin?

*  Update: Loyalist Robert Carlisle by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

*  23andMe Genetic Tree Provides Critical Clue to Solve 137-Year-Old Disappearance Mystery by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained – Genetic Genealogy.
