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:
* Genealogy Tips: Researching Your Revolutionary War Ancestors (part 2) by Katie Rebecca Garner on GenealogyBank Blog.
* AncestryDNA New DNA Communities Story Feature & Updated DNA Story! by Diane Henriks on Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family.
* Depending on DNA by Jacqi Stevens on A Family Tapestry.
* The Other Rangers by Judy G. Russell on The Legal Genealogist.
* How accurate is Ancestry’s handwriting recognition technology? by John D. Reid on Anglo-Celtic Connections.
* Tying Knots in the Loose Ends of Scotland by Kim Taylor on Vita Brevis.
* Genealogy: 22 Facts That Might be Found in Land Deeds by Linda Stufflebean on Empty Branches on the Family Tree.
* Haplogroups: DNA SNPs Are Breadcrumbs – Follow Their Path by Roberta Estes on DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy.
* Can Three Fourth Cousins Share the Same Segment? by Jim Bartlett on Segment-ology.
* Resolving Conflicts on the FamilySearch Family Tree: What To Do When Things Don’t Agree by Diana Elder on Family Locket.
