Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 14 to 20 November 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 as Negative Evidence by Leah Larkin on The DNA Geek.

Using DNA Icons In Your Ancestry Tree by Kitty Cooper on Kitty Cooper's Blog.

*  Most Requested Capability Now Available: Draw & measure on the map by Randy Majors on RandyMajors.org.

Thanks, Randy for mentioning my Journey to the Past blog. Hopefully, I am back to regular blogging after life got in the way the past couple of years.
