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:
* Proving a Parent-Child Link Using Ancestry DNA Thrulines and Documentary Research: Part 1 by Diana Elder on Family Locket.
* Emma by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.

Thank you once again, Randy, for including one of my posts on your "Best of" list. I like Cite Builder. It's very inexpensive and I found it very easy to use. Others who share my dislike of those dreaded source citation templates in genealogy software programs might really like it as a viable alternative that offers the EE format.
Linda - will you be able to unlock your blog for Canada at any point soon? WordFence is still blocking me.
