Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 6 to 12 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:

Why They're Only Clues by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

Researching at The National Library of Ireland by Donna Moughty on Irish Family Roots.

Using Social Media For Genealogists by Minnie Sheridan on THE Genealogy Show.

*  Maps – Placing the Amos Gorrell’s Farm on a Map by Lisa Gorrell on My Trails Into the Past.

*  Is Ancestry.com Worth the Money for Your Genealogy Research? by Will Moneymaker on Ancestral Findings.
