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

Ancestry DNA Shared Matches Update by Fiona Brooker on Memories In Time.

*  Book Review — Family Tree Factbook: Key Genealogy Tips and Stats for the Busy Researcher by Julie Cahill Tarr on Julie's Genealogy & History Hub.
