Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 31 July to 6 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:

It Is Iterative by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.

Genealogy Obsession Pays an Unexpected Dividend by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  How to Download Your DNA Match Lists & Segment Files by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

Ancestry DNA's Beta Chromosome Painter by Kelly Wheaton on Wheaton Wood.

*  Help – RootsWeb Message Boards Helped with Networking & is Still Useful for Hints by Lisa S. Gorrell on My Trails into the Past.

*  COUSINS, COUSINS AND MORE COUSINS ~ What treasures can you find when you visit your cousins? by Diane Gould Hall on Michigan Family Trails.

All These Lines by Jeff Record on Vita Brevis.

*  Universal vs Private Family Trees: Pros and Cons by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

*  Genealogy Takes a Neighborhood by Gena Philibert-Ortega on Legacy News.

 60 Free Online Genealogy Websites You Should Be Using by Kenneth Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

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 - 5th Aug 2022 by Crissouli on That Moment In Time.

Did I miss a great genealogy blog post? Tell me! I currently am reading posts from over 900 genealogy bloggers using Feedly, but I still miss quite a few it seems.
