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:
* Three Brick Walls Smashed by Remarkable WikiTreers by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
* When the Ancestor Trail Leads to a New Locale, Take Your Research Plan With You by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* Surprising Free Finds From Google Books by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* 9 Ways to Effectively Find Obituaries in Online Newspapers by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

Thank you for including my post about research guides this week. Learning about a new locale is so important when it comes to understanding what resources might be available.
