Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 1 to 7 May 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 Incredible Journey…………. by Paul Chiddicks on The Chiddicks Family Tree.

Let's Talk About Death by Kelly Wheaton on Wheaton Wood.

*  Creating My All-Encompassing Genealogy Research Log in OneNote by Diana Bryan Quinn on Moments In Time, A Genealogy Blog.

*  The Goldie May Subway Map timeline tool now works with Ancestry.com by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

*  The Easy Secret for DNA Success by Jennifer Dondero on The Occasional Genealogist.

*  Do You Dare to Try to Research Your Alsace Ancestors Online - in French? by Anne Morddel on The French Genealogy Blog.

*  Decoding Ancestor Occupations in 1950 US Census by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.

Judging the Records by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

 6+1 Books That Should Be On Every Genealogist's Reference Shelf  by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

Sibling Deeds by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.

*  What will Family History look like in the Future? by Janet Few on The History Interpreter -- Janet Few.

*  Genealogy Source Citations Simplified by Lisa Stokes on Family Locket.

Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:

*  Friday's Family History Finds by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

*  Friday Fossicking, 6th May 2022 by Crissouli on That Moment in Time.

I've had the same experience as Tricia with Linda's site...I do read the posts through Feedly, but can't comment on them anymore.
