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:
* Genealogy Information in Passport Applications and 17 Things You Can Find in Criminal Records by Kenneth R. Marks on The Ancestor Hunt.
* RootsMagic 9 by Marcia Philbrick on Heartland Genealogy.
* Exploring a New Feature You Didn't Know You Need by DiAnn Iamarino Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* Book Review: I Know Who You Are, by Barbara Rae-Venter by Leah Larkin on The DNA Geek.
* RootsTech 2023 - Pre-event by Miles Meyer on Miles' Genealogy Tips.
* RootsTech 2023 Opens! Let the Fun Begin! by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* What is DNA Compare on Ancestry? by Mercedes on Who Are You Made Of?
* Book Review: "Generation by Generation" by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
* How Accurate Are Ancestry DNA Matches? by a writer on GenealogyBank Blog.
* Cite-Builder: A Genealogy Source Citation Generator by Nicole Dyer on Family Locket.
* Evaluating Ancestry.com’s ThruLines by Lori Samuelson on Genealogy At Heart.
Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
