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 Use the Geni World Family Tree - A Review and How To Research Your DNA Matches on Geni by Margaret O'Brien on Data Mining DNA.
* 10 Must Knows When Starting German Research (Guest Post) by Kathy Wurth on Katherine Shober, SK Translations.
* DNA and WikiTree For Adoptees by Sunny Morton on Your DNA Guide.
* The Churchill Letter by Philip Grover on Vita Brevis.
* Finding Confirming Information by Pam Holland on Vita Brevis.
* DNA Basics: Are You an Equal Mix of Mom and Dad? by Leah Larkin on The DNA Geek.
