Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 23 to 29 October 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:

*  Six habits of the highly effective researcher by John Grenham on John Grenham - Irish Roots.

*  12 Reasons Why You Can’t Find Someone On Ancestry and 7 Reasons Why You Can’t Find Yourself On Ancestry by Margaret O'Brien on Data Mining DNA.

*  Ancestry Photo Hint by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.

*  Genealogy Tip: Finding Your Ancestor’s Story When They Are NOT in the Newspaper by Gena Philibert-Ortega on GenealogyBank Blog.

*  Why Care About Your DNA Matches? by DiAnn Iamarino on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  New: In Search of Unknown Family Resource Page by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

*  What is a Wide Family Tree? by Mercedes on Who Are You Made Of?

*  Not Everything Online is Free by Dick Eastman on Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter.

*  More Free Quality Genealogy Education Opportunities: American Ancestors by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

There Were Three Siblings by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

*  Your Family Statistics at MyHeritage by Louis Kessler on Behold Genealogy.

*  Could the FamilySearch Family Tree survive a concerted, intentional attack? by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

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 - 28th Oct 2022 by Crissouli on That Moment In Time.
