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:
* Top 8 Resources to Researching in Kansas City by Kathleen Brandt on a3genealogy.
* Getting Strangers To Reply by Ann Raymont on DNAsleuth.
* DNA Tidbit #4: Filter Matches by Country at MyHeritage by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
