Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 21 to 27 August 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:

*  No Soup For Us! by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

*  Andrew McKee (c1760-1814), Distiller on the Middle Fork of the Holston River – 52 Ancestors #372 by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

*  European Ancestors – Understanding France – Index to the Series by Julie Goucher on Julie Goucher ~Anglers Rest.
