Best of the Genea-Blogs - 15 to 21 August 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:

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.

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.
