Best of the Genea-Blogs -- Week of 16 to 22 April 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:

*  Do You Know Who You Are? by Paul Chiddicks on Chiddick's Family Tree.

*  Ancestry’s New DNA Compare Feature! by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family.

*  My Ancestors in Compiled Genealogy Books: A Bibliography by Heather Wilkinson Rojo on Nutfield Genealogy.

*  Where Will Your Roots Map Take You? by DiAnn Iamarina Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.

*  FamilySearch Library: Exploring & Understanding the Resources Available to Researchers – RootsTech 2023 by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.

*  Finally! A cM slider for chromosome maps by Jonny Perl on DNA Painter Blog.

 So, You Want to Become a Professional Genetic Genealogist by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.

*  5 Ways to Use ChatGPT to Research an Ancestor by Dr. Mac on A Week of Genealogy.

*  Making ChatGPT a Valuable Genealogy Assistant by Laura Clark Murray on Family Locket.

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 21st April 2023 by Crissouli on That Moment In Time.

*  This Week's Creme de la  Creme - April 22, 2023 by Gail Dever on Genealogy a la Carte.

Readers are encouraged to go to the blogs listed above and  read their articles, and add the blogs to your Favorites, Feedly, another RSS feed, or email if you like what you read. Please make a comment to them also - all bloggers appreciate feedback on what they write.

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.
