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:
* Triangulation on a Side Is a Snap by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.
* How To Hire a Professional Genealogist by Jessica Taylor on Legacy Tree Genealogists.
* Backup Day: LOCKSS and Paperless Genealogy by Marian B. Wood on Climbing My Family Tree.
* Genealogy Skills Make You a Keen Detective by DiAnn Iamarino Ohana on Fortify Your Family Tree.
* Striving for “organized enough” by Janine Adams on Organize our Family History.
* Always New Records on FamilySearch.org by James Tanner on Genealogy's Star.
* 6 Tips for Searching Historical Records on MyHeritage by Esther on MyHeritage Blog.
* Three Things You Can Do With Mystery Family Photos? by Ellen Thompson-Jennings on Hound on the Hunt.
* Globetrekker – A New Feature for Big Y Customers From FamilyTreeDNA by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* Discover the New HathiTrust Website by Gena Philbert-Ortega on Legacy News.
* The Minister's Dilemma, 52 Ancestors by Elizabeth Richards on Scrapping My Family History.
Here are pick posts by other geneabloggers this week:
