Best of the Genea-Blogs - 20 to 26 December 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:

*  Into Real Pages -- A New Blog to Book Producer (December 20, 2020) by John D. Tew on Filiopietism Prism. 

Bryan Sykes Finally Meets Eve's 7 Daughters by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained -- Genetic Genealogy.

*  Check Out My NEW Revised Site for Naturalization Records! by Lorine McGinnis on The Olive Tree Genealogy Blog.
