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: BETA Family Tree Views and Toolbox Icons by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family.
* ChatGPT and GEDCOM Files by Dr. Mac on A Week of Genealogy.
* Uncovering the True Identity of James William Johnson: Part 3 Adding DNA Evidence by Michelle Mickelson on Family Locket.
* 3 Digital Collection Resources for New York by Gena Philibert-Ortega on Legacy News.
* Documenting Descendants of Enslaved Laborers: Reconnecting Families and Overcoming Research Challenges by Shelley Murphy on Family Tree Girl.
* Billions and Billions by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.
* Collaboration is not Cheating by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.

Randy, thanks once again for the shout out on my blog post. I hope Linda enjoyed her peanut brittle for Mother's Day!
Thank you for the mention, Randy! I hope you're feeling better (though, it seems nothing slows you down)!
