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:
* DNA and Descendancy Research by Robin Wirthlin on Family Locket.
* AncestryDNA - An Overview (2021) by Rachel King on Toll Genealogy.
* Genealogy in the Online World by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.
* How To Find, View & Download Digital Books from FamilySearch by Julie Cahill Tarr on Julie's Genealogy & History Hub.
* The Archive Lady: Preserving Grandpa’s Diaries by Melissa Barker on Genealogy Bargains.
* DNA Beginnings: What is a Match? by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* Finding Great-Grandfather | How I Finally found Out Who I Am by Pamela Sue Hinton on Your DNA Guide.

* Researching Your War of 1812 Ancestors Online by Elizabeth O'Neal on Heart of the Family.
* Getting Your Poop In A Group – Make This The Year to Organize Your Research or Photos by Ellen Thompson-Jennings on Hound on the Hunt.
