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:
* Did You Know that Ancestry Has 1, 175 FREE Collections? by Kenneth Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.
* A Wink and a Nod From My Ancestors: Flyin’ Over the Old Home Place – 52 Ancestors #343 by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* WATO or Not to WATO - What is the Question by Robin Wirthlin on Family Locket.
* DNA Testing and Privacy: Ancestry, 23andMe and More by Diahan Southard on Your DNA Guide Blog.

Thank you for this week's mention. Nathan's new book definitely illustrates the fact that not all DNA discoveries are happy ones.
