Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 24 to 30 January 2021

 Scores 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 Handle Family Secrets and Surprises in Your Genealogy by Sunny Jane Morton on Family Tree.

*  So, who’s rolling their eyes at the mention of genealogy now, eh?* by Eoin Grenham on John Grenham - Irish Roots.

* How to Search the U.S. National Archives Online Catalog for Genealogy by Lisa Louise Cooke on Lisa Louise Cooke.

*  Strategies For Sorting Men of the Same Name: Lawrence Thompson, Part 3; and Part 4 by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

*  Get the Most of a Free Newspapers.com Trial by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.
