Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 25 to 31 July 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:

*  20 Things You Can Find in Church Records to Help Find Your Ancestors by Kenneth Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

*  Genealogy Tip: Finding Children Who Died Young, Part I and Part II by Katie Rebecca Garner on GenealogyBank Blog.

Coming in the Side Door for Amazing Ancestor Finds Using Collateral Research by Cindy Freed on Cindy Freed.

Enticing Immigrants by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

Jim Slade, R.I.P. by Dick Eastman on Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter.

Don't You ... Forget About YOU by Julie  Cahill Tarr on Genealogy in Action.

Triangulation on GEDmatch (Walkthrough) by Margaret O'Brien on Data Mining DNA.
