Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 25 to 31 October 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:

Using DNA Segments to Find or Verify Ancestors by Robin Wirthlin on Family Locket.

* 10 Surprising Things You Can Find at Google Books by Lisa on Lisa Louise Cooke.

*  More Losses at 23andMe – Including No Ethnicity Update for V2, V3 or V4 Chip Customers by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
