Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 8 to 14 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:

The Aftermath and The Funeral Cortege by Paul Chiddicks on Old Palace School Bombing.

*  Finding Cousins: About families, death, online trees and DNA by Wayne Shepheard on Discover Genealogy.

Works Progress Administration & Genealogy:  Historical Records Survey by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

Sometimes You Need to Re-Evaluate by Donna Moughty on Irish Family Roots.

Announcing DNA Beginnings - A New Series by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

Which Part of Your Ancestry Ancestry Needs To Be Private? by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.

Finding Unknown Biological Ancestors With DNA by History Chick on Genealogical Musings.

* Hiring a Professional Genealogist: Why, What and How by Diane Elder on Family Locket.

Decoding Why Ancestors Died by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
