Best of the Genea-Blogs -- Week of 6 to 12 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:

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.
