Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 14 to 20 May 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:

*  Ancestry Updates: New Comments Activity and Icon Feature! by Diane Henriks on Who Wears the Genes In Your Family?

*  My Largest Unidentified Match at FTDNA by Joel Hartley on Hartley DNA and Genealogy.

*  Does the DNA Come from the MRCA Father or Mother? by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.
