Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 30 August to 5 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:


Understanding Genealogical Sources by Phil Isherwood on Seeing the Wood for the Trees.

Ancestry and the Longest Segment by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.

7-gen 1-sheet by Ann Raymont on DNAsleuth.

Locating Wills & Probates by Dana Leeds on Dana Leeds.

New Connection by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
