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:
* 1860s Travel Times on the Routes to San Francisco CA by Bill Dollarhide on GenealogyBlog.
* Obsessed with New FamilySearch Get Involved App by Amie Bowser Tennant on The Genealogy Reporter.
* April 2022 Genealogy Blog Party: Tips for Successful Research in the 1950S & Beyond by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* Marriage Puzzle by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
* 5 Websites Professional Genealogists Use To Research Ancestors for Free by Lisa Lisson on Are You My Cousin?
* What a Mess by Tony Proctor on Parallax View.
* 1950 US Census: Check Out Family Members in NARA's Index by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
* Technological Advances in Genealogy by Gretchen Jorgensen on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* The Stories in the Census by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.
Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
