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:
* 4 Famous Americans Who Applied for a U.S. Passport 100 Years Ago by Daniella on MyHeritage Blog.
* Your Guide to Building and Searching Ancestry.com Family Trees by Gena Philibert-Ortega on Family Tree Magazine.
* The Method to My Genealogy Madness by DiAnn Iamarino Ohama on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* Using Websites’ Catalogs: Ancestry Tips by Cari Taplin on Genealogy Pants.
* 10 Resources for Tracing Immigrant Ancestors by Kathleen Brandt on a3Genealogy.
* 6 Tips for Proving Your Ancestor’s Identity (+ Common Errors) by Robyn N. Smith on Family Tree Magazine.
* How My Forty Year Old Brick Wall Was Broken: The Benevolence of Strangers and the Problem with Names by Kelly Wheaton on Wheaton Wood.
* 3 Online Resources to Expand Your Genealogy Research IQ on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* Boots on the Ground Library Search Turns Up Gold by Lori Samuelson on Genealogy At Heart.
* Lost in London – Mapping London Addresses by Judith Batchelor on Genealogy Jude.
* Family History Fatigue by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
