Best of the Genea-Blogs - 29 January to 4 February 2023

 Scores of genealogy and family history bloggers write hundreds 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:

*  Technology you already have: Use OCR to Transcribe Family Documents by Laura Hedgecock on Treasure Chest of Memories.

*  Ancestry privacy update: no big deal by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.

*  Understanding the Limitations of Genetically Based Family Trees by Annette Kapple on AK's Genealogy Research.

*  The Easy Way to Find Deeds in PA by Denys Allen on PA Ancestors.

*  Genealogists circle the law without understanding it by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.

*  Genealogy and Probate Records by Kenneth Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.

*  Struggling to Find Your Italian Ancestors? How to Navigate Italian Archives by Sarah Gutman on Legacy Tree Genealogists.

*  Finding Online Records by Gena Philibert-Ortega on Legacy News.

*  View Ancestry DNA Matches By Ancestor With ThruLines by Mercedes Brons on Who Are You Made Of?

*  Discovering Some Broyles Cousins by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

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 3 Feb 2023 by Crissouli on That Moment In Time.

This Week's Creme de la Creme - February 4, 2023  by Gail Dever on Genealogy a la Carte.
