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:
* Jumpstart Your Genealogy With FamilySearch by Amy Johnson Crow on Amy Johnson Crow.
* RM 8 Light Bulb Settings by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
* The Little Ice Age and Genealogy by Wayne Shepheard on Discover Genealogy.
* Underwear Days by Jan Doerr on Vita Brevis.
* Immigration: The First and Last Big Challenge in Genealogical Research by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

Randy: Thank you very much for mentioning the blog post, which marks my return to blogging after a long hiatus to capture all my years of posts into hardback book form. Much appreciated! I think the mention helped let readers know I am back to blogging on at least a limited basis until after that marriage of our younger son net month.
