Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 8 to 14 November 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:

*  How to Write and Publish a Proof Argument with DNA Evidence by Nicole Dyer on Family Locket.

Top Ten Tips For Researching Your Ancestor's Military Service by Talya on MyHeritage Blog.
