Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 14 to 20 February 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:

*   A Different Path by Michael Dwyer on Vita Brevis.

*  Family History With a Flourish: Video-Mapping Your Ancestors by Dr. Sophie Kay on The Parchment Rustler.
