Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 7 to 13 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:

How I Became a Professional Genealogist by Mark Jones on Family Wise Ltd.

*  Follow Up – The Rest of the William Beechey Story – A Sad Ending – He and His Wife and Three Children All Killed in a World War I Bombing by Diane Gould Hall on Michigan Family Trails.

Tracking While You Research by Michael John Neill on Rootdig.Com.
