Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 20 to 26 September 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:

Thank you for including my 7 Generations post on your list this week. I think we all had fun with it on SNGF. Plus, it's very useful for a visual representation of many kinds of data.
