Best of the Genea-Blogs - 20 to 26 February 2022

 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 Original and Best by Dave Annal on Lifelines Research.

*  TreeFind: A Versatile Tool for FamilySearch Family Tree by Bob Taylor on The Family History Guide Blog.

*  Revisiting Proof and Truth in Genealogy by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

*  The whys and what-ifs by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

 AutoKinship at GEDmatch by Genetic Affairs by Roberta Estes on Genetic Genealogy - DNAeXplained.

A World of DNA by Leah Larkin on The DNA Geek.

*  Using Genetic Groups At MyHeritage To Narrow Down Matches & Build A Segment Map by Annette Kapple on AK's Genealogy Research.

*  OUR CHALLENGE: Personal Histories and Compiled Genealogies by Pat Richley-Erickson on DearMYRTLE.

*  Many Paths to Sources: It’s Not All Online by Cari Taplin on Genealogy Pants.

*  What is the significance of the first cluster in an AutoCluster or Collins Leeds Method chart? by Nicole Dyer on Family Locket.

*  1950 US Census Part 2: Prepping for the Release by Julie Tarr on Genealogy In Action.

*  Ask Yvette – Is an online tree a source? by Yvette Hoitink on Dutch Genealogy.
