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:
* In Defence of Rabbit Holes and BSOs by Jill Ball on GeniAus.
* When Family Stories Weren't Exaggerated by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
* Genetic Affairs – New AutoKinship Tool Predicts Relationships and Builds Genetic Trees by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* What Indexes and Transcripts Don't Tell You by Susan M. Posten Ellerbee on Posting Family Roots.
