Best Of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 13 to 19 June 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:

Extending a Match's Ancestry by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.

In the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Four by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

*  Searching for an Ancestor’s Maiden Name? Try These Top 7 Resources! by Elizabeth O'Neal on Heart of the Family.
