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:
* Creating a Genealogy Research Guide by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* Diving Into English Records: An Essential Guide For Tracing English Ancestry on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* Same Name, Different Person? by Ken McKinlay on Family Tree Knots.

Thank you for this week's mention, Randy. I've found a research guide helps to keep all the ducks in a row when diving into genealogy records in a new locale.
ReplyDeleteRandy, thanks so much for including me in this week's roundup, for your encouraging comments last week, and also a belated thanks for your shout out last week, as well. I'm afraid smoke on the brain got the best of me last week...
